Many web controls (which, in turn, return HTML to the web browser) have
properties and methods added to them, which are unavailable in their HTML
counterparts. By adding and ID and a Runat=Server to html controls, you
essentially make it a generic html control, without the built in additions
of some of the ASP.NEt Server controls.

I use basic HTML for my tables most of the time, though a few times, I found
that I needed the added functionality of the server controls.

Seems to be working for me.
Perhaps there was a temporary glitch?

Hello, ASP.NET newbie here so please be nice ;-) I'm reading ASP.NET Unleashed, following a recommendation here. I am a little confused about the difference between HTML controls and web controls. Obviously there are web controls that don't have any relation to HTML controls (like the calendar), but the basic web controls that produce links, labels, etc seem to do the same as the HTML controls (or vice-versa).

I have a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile control that I use to submit files. After the file is successfully submitted, I want the field to be reset so that the user knows the file was submitted. However, ASP.NET does not let you change the Value property of an HtmlInputFile control. How can I reset the HtmlInputFile control to it's original state? Thanks. -- Nathan Sokalski njsokalski@hotmail.com http://www.nathansokalski.com/
