Understanding ASP.NET Controls
ASP.NET controls are the heart of ASP.NET Framework. An ASP.NET control is a .NET class that executes on the server and renders certain content to the browser. For example, in the first ASP.NET page created at the beginning of this chapter, a Label control was used to display the current date and time. The ASP.NET framework includes more than 90 controls, which enable you to do everything from displaying a list of database records to displaying a randomly rotating banner advertisement.
This section provides an overview of the controls included in ASP.NET Framework. You also learn how to handle events raised by controls and how to take advantage of View State.
