newbie: trouble with asp:HyperLink

hey
asp.net 2.0
I have a asp:HyperLink on a usercontrol. If I set it's NavigateUrl to
something like www.helloworld.com, and click on the link during runtime,
then the link don't navigate to this page. Instead it navigate to
http://localhost:1794/Test/Controls/www.helloworld.com
http://localhost:1794/Test/Controls/ is the folder in which I've placed the
usercontrol using this hyperlink
This is the markup of my HyperLink
<asp:HyperLink ID="hlCompany" runat="server" CssClass="label"
Target="_blank" Width="175px">[hlCompany]</asp:HyperLink><br />
Any suggestions?
JeffJeff,
You have to preface an external URL with http://. The control won't do
it for you as it can't tell if you're looking to browser to a local page or
want to browse to an external site.
Hope this helps,

I suggest you set the hyperlink's NavigateURL to this:
http://www.helloworld.com
That way it doesn't think its a relative URL since you seem to be linking to
an external site.
I hope this helps,

yes, it can tell if you're looking to browser to a local page or
want to browse to an external site.
You are telling you want to browse to a local page
