HTML controls vs Web Controls

Hi All,

What is the differnce between HTML controls and web controls?

Some of the things which could be done by web application, could also be

be done by Web Controls.

So, why HTML controls are being provided.

What is the use of that having two different controls web controls and HTML controls?

The main difference is the Web Server Controls are generated on the server side and turned into HTML and can be used in the code behind, the HTML controls are just static HTML markup. The Server controls will also return the correct HTML for the browser requesting the page.
