Web Forms Controls
ASP.NET Web Forms - Web Server Controls
Web server controls are special ASP.NET tags that the server understands.
Web Server Control
Just like HTML server controls, Web server controls are also created on the server, and they also require the runat="server" attribute to take effect. However, Web server controls do not necessarily map any existing HTML elements; they can represent more complex elements.
The syntax for creating a Web server control is:
<asp:control_name id="some_id" runat="server" />
