asp controls vs html objects

I'm starting to use asp.net objects more often than html object just because
thay are easer to change in VS.net My question is do they add a substantial
amount of weight to a web page nd should i be avoiding asp controls when
possible?

thanks

Anything that has process and data will add to the resource usage of the
page. HTML is compiled into a LiteralControl, which has no process (you
can't work with it programmaticall y). So, raw HTML is going to be the most
light-weight Control you can have.

Thank you for answering,
I knew it added to over head, but i'm concerned that it adds a lot to a
page. I've done a lot with java objects and i've only used them when ever
absolutly necessary. True, asp.net is server side, and java is client, but
i'm starting to build asp.net pages like i build VB pages.

Well, "a lot" and "substantia l" are unfortunately subjective terms, relative
to nothing as they stand. I couldn't possibly tell you that.
