Summary

This chapter examined in some detail the most essential of the standard Web server controls. These controls are the building blocks of most Web Forms; almost any ASP.NET Web Form generally uses one or more of these controls. All of these controls benefit from the advantages of having common class ancestors, namely, the WebControl and the Control classes. As such, there is a common set of properties, methods, and events that are shared by all controls.

There are still some additional standard Web server controls that were not covered in this chapter. The next chapter covers the remaining, more specialized, standard controls.
