Controls

There are three types of controls for ASP.NET Web pages: server, HTML, and validation. Server and HTML controls are user interface items such as buttons and textboxes that are displayed in a Web browser. The other type of control, validation, examines user input and responds accordingly, based upon whether or not the input is acceptable.

Server Controls

Server controls are graphical user interface items that a user interacts with to run a Web application. Although server controls have parallel HTML controls, such as text boxes and buttons, some of the server controls—the ad rotator and calendar, for instance—are much more sophisticated. Table 20.1 lists the ASP.NET server controls.
