<xmod:DetailLink>

<xmod:DetailLink> renders a hyperlink that switches the parent template to detail view — same behavior as <xmod:DetailButton>, just rendered as a link rather than a push-button.

Sibling variants

• <xmod:DetailButton> — push-button
• <xmod:DetailImage> — clickable image

Example

<xmod:Template Id="Employees">
  <ListDataSource CommandText="SELECT EmployeeId, FirstName, LastName FROM Employees" />
  <DetailDataSource CommandText="SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeId = @EmployeeId">
    <Parameter Name="EmployeeId" />
  </DetailDataSource>
  <ItemTemplate>
    [[FirstName]] [[LastName]] —
    <xmod:DetailLink Text="View Profile">
      <Parameter Name="EmployeeId" Value="[[EmployeeId]]" DataType="Int32" />
    </xmod:DetailLink>
  </ItemTemplate>
  <DetailTemplate>
    <h1>[[FirstName]] [[LastName]]</h1>
  </DetailTemplate>
</xmod:Template>
