The HtmlGenericControl is created on the server in response to tags that include the runat="server"
attribute/value pair in elements which do not map directly to a specific HTML control. These include the <span>
, <body>
, <div>
, and <font>
elements among others. The control maps the tag name of the particular element that is to be used as an HTML control to the page framework through a TagName property. This control inherits functionality from the HtmlContainerControl class, which allows developers to dynamically change inner content of HTML control tags.
