how to set asp:HyperLink href to “mailto:[email protected]” in .net c#

Does anyone know how can I set the asp:HyperLink href to “mailto:[email protected]” in .net c#?

Example:
If I have the following code:

  <tr>
    <td class="graytext r">PERSONAL EMAIL:</td>
    <td><asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="sPersonalEmail" class="orange" style="cursor:pointer" /></td>
  </tr>

How can I set the href to “mailto:[email protected]” in .net c# instead of hard code it in asp:HyperLink?

Method 1

Something like this by setting NavigateUrl:

<asp:HyperLink runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Email", "mailto:{0}") %>'
                              Text='<%# Bind("Email") %>'
                              ID="hlEmail">
</asp:HyperLink>

Method 2

I find this the easiest

string whateverEmail = "<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e591809691a5918d8c96cb868a88">[email protected]</a>";

hypEmail.Attributes.Add("href", "mailto:" + whateverEmail );

Method 3

If you wanted to do it code behind then you could simply put the following in page load (or wherever relevant, such as a button event):

string email = “[email protected]”;
sPersonalEmail.NavigateUrl = “mailto:” + email;

Method 4

Another way is this:

<asp:BoundField DataField="Email" DataFormatString="<a href=mailto:{0}>{0}</a>" HtmlEncodeFormatString="false" />

Method 5

This is my ASP.NET code using the asp:HyperLink properties.

 hlEmail.Text = "<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="691d010c2c04080005291e0c0b280d0d0c1a1a470a0604">[email protected]</a>";
 hlEmail.NavigateUrl = "mailto:" + "<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a5d1cdc0e0c8c4ccc9e5d2c0c7e4c1c1c0d6d68bc6cac8">[email protected]</a>";
