I'm not sure about your request. Could you explain better your situation ?

I would like to do something like this if its possible:-


nodeProd.Text = <a href="">rowProd("ProductName")</a>

In short whats the best way to have data populated from the DB to go
straight into a <a href="">ProductName<a/> .

For example have a URL table having - "http://a.aspx"
and the same table having the (ProductName)

So i want to have both the URL and the (ProductName) both populated
from the Database.

So if the URL is http://a.spx and the product name is "bread".
The out come should be <a href="http://a.aspx">bread</a>

If you want to retrieve a string, as a final result, this is a simple way to
do that:

nodeProd.Text = this.CreateLink(rowProd("ProductURL"),
rowProd("ProductName"));
private string CreateLink(string url, string text)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
sb.Append("<a href='");
sb.Append(url);
sb.Append("'>");
sb.Append(text);
sb.Append(@"</a>");

return sb.ToString();
}

Alternative, if nodeProd has a Controls collection you could add to this
collection an Hyperlink WebControl:
HyperLink lnk = new HyperLink();
lnk.NavigateUrl = rowProd("ProductURL");
lnk.Text = rowProd("ProductName");

nodeProd .Controls.Add(lnk);
