ASP.NET Text Property

Complete Literal Control Reference

Definition and Usage

The Text property is used to set or return the text of a Literal control.

If the text is set in the ASP.NET code the (like in the example below) text is HTML decoded before it is displayed. However, if the property is set programmatically or set as text between the opening and closing tags of the control, the caption is not HTML decoded.

Syntax

<asp:HyperLink Text="string" runat="server" />

Attribute	Description
string	A string that specifies the text in the literal control

Example

The following example sets the text for the Literal control:

<form runat="server">
<asp:Literal runat="server" Text="W3Schools" />
</form>
