Do I need <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" ..... in asp.net 2.0 ?

Hello,
if I have for example:

<table style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" border="1">
<tr>
<td style="width: 100px">k
</td>
<td style="width: 100px">k
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 100px">k
</td>
<td style="width: 100px">k
</td>
</tr>
</table>

and I see the page in internet explorer 6.0 then:

if I have before:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; >

then the table in the height is not the full internet-explorer page as I
want it.

if I have not
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; >
before in the site, the table is the full internet-explorer page as I want.

So question:
Do I need

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; >

in my aspx.-pages (asp.net 2.0) ?
Visual studio 2005 allways includes this in aspx-files.
The question is: When I have server controls that generate for example
html-code for IE 6.0 does this code need, that there
are these declarations in the aspx pages ?
Means: If these declarations are not there can it be, that asp.net generated
html is bad visible in browsers?

Thank you for any help.
