Could someone please discuss when to use the new aspx controls as in <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> as opposed to the standard <input type=text> etc. This is especially puzzleing with things like labels, tables, buttons where databinding is not an issue. If a label is static and doesn't ever change, is there still a reason to use the newer version?

Thanks 

Hi...

Please read the following.

The following sections cover HTML and Web server controls. Frequently, the question
arises: which one should I use? Here is some guidance that can help you choose
the proper control type.
Consider using the HTML server controls when any of the following conditions exist:

■ You are migrating existing ASP pages to ASP.NET.

■ The control needs to have custom client-side JavaScript attached to the control’s
events.

■ The Web page has lots of client-side JavaScript and that is referencing the control.
In all other cases, you should consider using the more powerful Web server controls.
