Hyperlinks in LightSwitch

It looks like there is no native way of presenting a URL string as a clickable link. Fortunately there is an extension that caters for this: Pixata custom controls – the Web Link control.

You also have the option to use an icon, and displaying the URL is optional too. In this example we see I have used an icon instead of a URL.

The extension can be downloaded from the Visual Studio Extensions Gallery for free – http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9c342bec-e3e5-4c08-9993-35ccb26d3c9f
