How get syntax right for this HTML written in code?

[Ronald S. Cook]

How can I write this code so that it will appear as just "Click here" but
encoded with the link information?

strFile = "Click here";
row["Link"] = "<a href="http://www.ibm.com>" + strFile + "</a>";

Thanks!

What are you having trouble with?

If you want a string with double-quotes in it, you need to "escape" the
double-quotes by preceding the double-quote character with a backslash.

Otherwise, it should be just like writing the regular HTML as you'd see
it in a web page.

Try

row["Link"] = "<a href=\"http://www.ibm.com\">" + strFile + "</a>";

Aside from escaping the quote ' \" '

I find String.Format() can provide an easier to read syntax.

row["Link"] = String.Format("<a
href={0}http://www.ibm.com{0}>{1}","\'",strFile)
