Difference between Hyperlink and HyperLinkField

Hi,

1. HyperlinkField is a column type for data bound controls such as GridView. It will display a link for each
   record in the data bound control.

      datasourceid="titles"
      width=90% cellpadding=5 font-size="8pt"
      autogeneratecolumns=false
      headerstyle-backcolor="maroon"
      headerstyle-forecolor="khaki"
      headerstyle-font-bold
      rowstyle-verticalalign="top">

      <columns>
         <asp:hyperlinkfieldheadertext="Title"
            datatextfield="title"
            datanavigateurlformatstring="page_details.aspx?id={0}"
            datanavigateurlfields="id" />
                      datafield="id" />
                     datafield="Name" />
                     datafield="fee"
            htmlencode=false
            dataformatstring="{0:n2}"
            itemstyle-horizontalalign="right" />
      columns>

   asp:gridview>

2.Hyperlink would have to be declared inside an ItemTemplate in a GridView as it does not inherit from DataControlField.

<asp:HyperLink ID="hltitle" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# FormatUrl( (int) Eval("title") ) %>' Text = '<%# Eval("title") %>' />

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.
