Usage & Scenarios

Renders the hyperlink which behaves like a button.

Sample 1: Basic LinkButton

The LinkButton control can use the Text property or the inner content to specify what's inside.

The Click event specifies, which method in the viewmodel will be triggered.

page.dothtml
ViewModel.cs

<dot:LinkButton Click="{command: DoSomething()}" Text="Simple Link Button" />

<dot:LinkButton Click="{command: DeleteSomething()}">
  <img src="~/images/delete.png" /> Delete
</dot:LinkButton>

using DotVVM.Framework.ViewModel;

namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.builtin.LinkButton.sample1
{
    public class ViewModel : DotvvmViewModelBase
    {
        public void DoSomething()
        {
            // do what you have to do
        }

        public void DeleteSomething()
        {
            // do what you have to do
        }
    }
}

Sample 2: Disable or Hide the LinkButton

To disable or enable the button, use the Enabled property. It supports the data-binding.

It's also possible to hide the button completely by using the Visible property.

page.dothtml
ViewModel.cs

<dot:LinkButton Click="{command: Switch()}" Text="Switch"/>

<dot:LinkButton Click="{command: DoSomething()}" Text="Link Button with Enabled binding" Enabled="{value: Enabled}"/>

<dot:LinkButton Click="{command: DoSomething()}" Text="Link Button with Visible binding" Visible="{value: Enabled}"/>

using DotVVM.Framework.ViewModel;

namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.builtin.LinkButton.sample2
{
    public class ViewModel : DotvvmViewModelBase
    {
        public bool Enabled { get; set; } = true;

        public void Switch()
        {
            Enabled = !Enabled;
        }

        public void DoSomething()
        {
            
        }

    }
}
