<xmod:CommandLink>

Syntax Remarks Example

The CommandLink tag renders as a hyperlink at run-time. It is used to execute data commands in another template within the module instance. For instance, if you had two templates, you might put a CommandLink in template #1 to pass a parameter to the <listdatasource> of template #2, causing that template to re-load with the new result set.
