How do I make this link noindex and nofollow?

<asp:hyperlink id="lnkCustomerService" Runat="server" NavigateUrl="page#*$!.aspx">Customer Service</asp:hyperlink>

Any ideas please.

You can add a meta robots noindex,nofollow tag to the generated page.

Many thanks, by adding no index, no follow to those target pages I assume that is the same as adding it to the above out link - out of interest is it even possible to make the above link a nofollow?

There is a difference, at least for Google. With a robots meta tag, even though the target url will not be in the index, the page must be spidered for the meta tags to be read. It can also accumulate PageRank.

...is it even possible to make the above link a nofollow?

Not to my knowledge. rel="nofollow" is a search engine recognized attribute in an <a> tag, not in an asp function.
