textControl.Select(10, 12);
HypertextLinkCollection hypertextLinkCollection = textControl.HypertextLinks;
hypertextLinkCollection.Add(new HypertextLink("Documentation", "https://docs.textcontrol.com/") { ID = 100 });

if (hypertextLinkCollection.Count > 0)
{
    HypertextLink hypertextLink = hypertextLinkCollection[1];
    if (hypertextLinkCollection.Remove(hypertextLink))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("The item was removed.");

Dim hypertextLinkCollection As HypertextLinkCollection = textControl.HypertextLinks
hypertextLinkCollection.Add(New HypertextLink("Documentation", "https://docs.textcontrol.com/") With { .ID = 100 })
