Web Server Controls (Cont.)

Web server controls are special ASP.NET tags understood by the server. Like HTML server controls, web server controls are also created on the server and they require a runat="server" attribute to work. However, web server controls do not necessarily map to any existing HTML elements and they may represent more complex elements. The syntax for creating a web server control is 
   <asp:control_name id="some_id" runat="server" />
