Re: HTML control Vs Web form control

As Eliyahu said, HtmlControls are more lightweight, but it is important to
understand what the differences are in order to know what you need to use.
All HtmlControls are derived from System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlControl,
and all WebControls are derived from System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl.
Give the following MSDN references to these 2 base classes a read, and you
should be well-informed:

Html controls are lighter. One of typical scenarios where you may want to
use html controls is when you have an html prototype of your page and you
need to program it in asp.net. Then it is easier just to add runat=server
to html controls.

Web controls offer common set of server-side members that can make your
code cleaner and more readable.

work in same way example, using "runat = Server" attribute, html control
can also executed at server, then what is the use of HTML control and is

control.

Thanks and regards,
