what is the difference between link and hyperlink?..

Answer / srinivas

The HyperLink control immediately navigates to the target
URL when the user clicks on the control. The form is not
posted to the server.

The LinkButton control first posts the form to the server,
then navigates to the URL. If you need to do any server-
side processing before going to the target URL, use a
LinkButton.

On the other hand, if there is no server-side processing
necessary, don't waste a round trip and use the HyperLink
control.

Answer / pappie

The purpose of both controls is same.
But there is one major difference between these two, i.e.
HTML Hyperlink control is an HTML control, whenever it is
clicked the page navigates to the target page.

the user clicks on it, the request is redirected back to
the server and in its response the page is navigated to the
target page.

what is the difference between link and hyperlink?..

Answer / gaurav

A hyperlink is a link you can click on or activate with the
keyboard or other device in order to go somewhere else. The
hyperlinks are used on the pages and they navigate from one
page to another between same or different Sites/servers.

A URL/Link can be thought of as the "address" of a web page
and is sometimes referred to informally as a "web address."

Like if we write "http://google.com" in the address bar, it
is a link and if we apply it on the page so that, anyone can
navigate from the site to Google, it is called hyperlink.

A hyperlink is a link you can click on or activate with the
keyboard or other device in order to go somewhere else. A
hyperlink is defined by its function, not by its appearance.

A URL can be thought of as the "address" of a web page and
is sometimes referred to informally as a "web address."

for an example, see the HTML entry.
