title: how to automatically convert a web address into a hyperlink when binding to asp.net control
body: <p>I have a column in my database whose value is e.g. "website, deployment,<a href="http://www.qihub.scot.nhs.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.qihub.scot.nhs.uk</a>, test" and on my webpage I m using asp:Literal control to bind it. If part of this column value is <strong>http</strong> then how can we automatically make it a hyperlink so that its clickable. </p>
  
  <p>Markup </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;
       &lt;strong&gt;Tags: &lt;/strong&gt;
       &lt;asp:Literal id="m_eventTags"    runat=server /&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  
  private void PopulateForm()
  {
     //blabla
     m_eventTags.Text = theReader.GetString(10);
  }
  </code></pre>
