| VSView Reporting Edition Reference > Field Object > Field Properties > LinkTarget Property |
Gets or sets an expression that evaluates to a URL to be visited when the field is clicked.
string Field.LinkTarget
If not empty, this should be an expression that evaluates to a URL. After the report is generated, clicking on the field will cause the report viewer to navigate to the URL. The report viewer can be a Web browser (for HTML reports), Adobe Acrobat (for PDF reports), or other viewer applications based on the VSPrinter control.
The field will be displayed as usual, based on the contents of its Text and Picture properties.
The LinkTarget expression is always evaluated, regardless of the setting of the Calculated property (which only applies to the display text). This allows you to bind the LinkTarget to a field in the data source.
For example:
// set up a static link
Field f = c1r.Fields["companyInfoLink"];
f.Calculated = false;
f.Text = "click here for more info on our company";
f.LinkTarget = "http://myrealty.com";
// set up a databound link
Field f = c1r.Fields["propertyInfoLink"];
f.Calculated = false;
f.Text = "click here for more info on this property";
f.LinkTarget = "\"http://myrealty.com/moreinfo?id=\" & propertyID";
