The problem is that the hyperlink control will redirect to some other page when you click on it. that's how hyperlinks work so you wouldnt be able to capture that information on the postback because there isnt a post back with a hyperlink control.

You need to use a linkbutton control instead.

Yes But i need it in Hyperlink as the styles are written accordingly.
The scenario is that In master page I have one main Menu.Based on the selection of Menu the submenu should be populated below it from database.SO i need the text which was selected.Please provide alternate solution for this problem.(The main Menu is written in Hyperlinks for having various atyles for it.)

LinkButton controls render as HTML <a> hyperlinks on the browser so that is the appropriate solution.

ASP.NET handles all of this via javascript and the post back via the form. Take a look at the source view using your browser.

The other alternative is to do something client side using javascript and AJAX. When a hyperlink is clicked, rather than allowing the normal event to trigger, send the hyperlinks ID back to the server, perform some process, send the results back to the browser, finish processing client side.
