Turn URL's into hyperlinks in ASP.NET(madskristensen.dk)

submitted by madskristensen(8565) 5 years, 11 months ago

Today, I needed a function that would look through some text input and check for any URL's and the URL's should then be turned into hyperlinks. In other words, I had to turn this www.someurl.com into <a href="http://www.someurl.com" target="_blank">www.someurl.com</a>. It should also be able to handle URL's that starts with http:\\ and not just www.

I will be doing something similar with the comments on www.dotnetkicks.com. As you can see, currently only plain text is allowed.

That's great. Not even WordPress or other blog/CMS engines does this automatically. You have to write something like [url]http:\\www.url.com[/url]. That's just annoying.
