I use Hyperlink images a lot on my site, and was wondering if there is a way I set the ImageAlign property for the image? I know that you can do it with a normal Image control, but there is no such property exposed with the Hyperlink control. Any items added to the Attributes collection end up as attributes of the hyperlink and not the image.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This is a rather old post which went unanswered. I ran into similar situation and I ended up override RenderContents:  

protected override void RenderContents(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
    string imageUrl = this.ImageUrl;
    if (imageUrl.Length > 0)
    {
        Image image = new Image();
        image.ImageUrl = base.ResolveClientUrl(imageUrl);
        image.ImageAlign = ImageAlign.AbsMiddle;
        imageUrl = this.ToolTip;
        if (imageUrl.Length != 0)
        {
            image.ToolTip = imageUrl;
        }
        imageUrl = this.Text;
        if (imageUrl.Length != 0)
        {
            image.AlternateText = imageUrl;
        }
        image.RenderControl(writer);
    }
    else
    {
        writer.Write(this.Text);
    }
}

 

Microsoft... Can you please add this to the Hyperlink object.  While I can override like the gentlemen above suggests - in existing projects it makes it difficult to replace all instances.

This is a simple addition on your end.
