Is it possible to put links in tiles?

[Ned]

We're able to redirect users to a link when they click tiles by using NavigateUrl. My question is that is it possible to add multiple links inside a tile?

For example, users will go to a.aspx when they click anywhere in tile. There will be also "Click for B" and "Click for C" links in tile. Users will be redirected to b.aspx or c.aspx from these links.

Hi Nedim,

You can use a ContentTemplate tile and add the desired HTML inside: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/tilelist-tiles-contenttemplatetile.html. For example:

<telerik:RadContentTemplateTile runat="server" ID="RadContentTemplateTile1" NavigateUrl="some-page.aspx">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <a href="A">Page A</a>
        <br />
        <a href="B">B</a>
    </ContentTemplate>
</telerik:RadContentTemplateTile>

Thanks Marin, this was what I had been looking for.

A question about this control: Is there any easy way to assign a background image? There is no ImageUrl property for this control (except the one for title). Should we set the image with HTML/CSS?

Hello Nedim,

The ContentTemplate tile lets the developer define the entire content of the tile and this would include images, should you want them. You can add them as <img> tags, as background-image CSS rules for elements in your content, or override the built-in CSS of the control, depending on what you would need.
