Title: HTML Controls versus Web Server Controls - Asp.net Course with Visual Studio 2010 - Lesson 4

Duration:  18 minutes

Summary: In this video, we will explore the difference between HTML controls and Web Server controls. HTML controls contain the basic elements that you need to work with HTML. You normally use these controls when you are migrating an older page into an ASP.NET project and you do not want to rewrite the page from scratch. Web Server controls, on the other hand, are more powerful controls. They run on the server side and they produce the HTML that the browser needs to display the control properly. Almost always, it is preferred that you use the Web Server controls with your ASP.NET development. When you double click on an HTML button, you notice that Visual Studio will direct you to a JavaScript function. In other words the code that will run upon clicking the button will be on the client side. On the other hand, when you double click on a Web Server button control, Visual Studio will direct you to the code behind page that will run on the server.

Methodology of the development of example: Good coding standard and simplified design to illustrate the key points.
