SAIFLinkButton

SAIFLinkButton is a minimal LinkButton subclass adding a single Value property of type AlphaNumericCharacter, used exclusively by SAIFAlphaNumericLinkControl to identify which letter/number range each generated link represents.

Purpose

• Carry an AlphaNumericCharacter identity alongside the rendered link text so the parent control's click handler can determine which alphabet/number segment was clicked.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Presentation.Web.Controls.V2
• Assembly/package: Compiled into SAIF.BOF.Presentation.Web.Infragistics103*

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
Value	Public Property Value As AlphaNumericCharacter	Identifies which letter (A–Z) or numeric group this link button represents, read by SAIFAlphaNumericLinkControl's click handler.

Inherited public members

Members in this section are inherited from LinkButton in the .NET Framework (System.Web.UI.WebControls), a framework base class rather than a documented SAIF dependency library.

Member	Signature	Purpose
Text	Public Property Text As String	Caption text rendered inside the anchor element.
CommandName	Public Property CommandName As String	Command identifier passed to the Command event when the button is clicked.
CommandArgument	Public Property CommandArgument As String	Additional argument value passed alongside CommandName to the Command event.
CausesValidation	Public Property CausesValidation As Boolean	Determines whether page validation runs when the button is clicked.
ValidationGroup	Public Property ValidationGroup As String	Name of the validation group triggered by this button when CausesValidation is True.
PostBackUrl	Public Property PostBackUrl As String	URL of the page to post to when the button is clicked (cross-page posting).
OnClientClick	Public Property OnClientClick As String	Client-side script executed when the button is clicked, before postback.
Enabled	Public Property Enabled As Boolean	Controls whether the rendered link participates in enabled-state behavior.
CssClass	Public Property CssClass As String	CSS class name(s) rendered on the anchor element.
ToolTip	Public Property ToolTip As String	Text shown as a native tooltip when hovering the rendered link.
Click	Public Event Click As EventHandler	Raised on postback when the link is clicked.
Command	Public Event Command As CommandEventHandler	Raised on postback with the CommandName/CommandArgument values when the link is clicked.

Standard WebControl/Control members (ID, ClientID, Controls, Visible, DataBind, FindControl, etc.) are not re-documented here as they are unmodified framework behavior**.

Behavioral notes

• Used only as a child control generated by SAIFAlphaNumericLinkControl.CreateChildControls; not intended for standalone use on a page*.

Constraints and usage notes

• No independent rendering or postback logic is added beyond the base LinkButton; all custom behavior lives in the Value property and in the parent control's handling of it.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
