how to change the url of the page in asp.net

Question

I am using asp.net and i have a hyperlink tag like this:

<asp:HyperLink ID="BusinessWebSiteHyperLink" runat="server" Text="Hyperlink"></asp:HyperLink>

I am adding the address from code behind like this:

  DataTable dt = objYPSearchResultsDataAccess.GetYPBusinessListingDetails(businessID);
  BusinessWebSiteHyperLink.Text = dt.Rows[0]["BusinessWebsite"].ToString();
  string Hyperlink = dt.Rows[0]["Hyperlink"].ToString();
  if (Hyperlink == "True")
  {
     BusinessWebSiteHyperLink.NavigateUrl = BusinessWebSiteHyperLink.Text;
  }
 else
  {
     BusinessWebSiteHyperLink.NavigateUrl = "";
  }

every thing is fine but when i click the Business url in the page then the page should redirect me to the business website but it is adding localhost/7467567/...../www.stakeoverflow.com. i just want to redirect my page to stakeoverflow when it is clicked. how to solve this?

should that be www.stackoverflow.com, or is this a Beef Eater place? — Christian Phillips
