ASP.Net Server Controls Categories

ASP.Net Server Control can be broadly classified into 4 categories...

1. Intrinsic Controls -These controls correspond to their HTML counterpart... eg Textbox control, Button control
2. Data-Centric Controls - These controls are used for data display, binding, modification purposes... They bind to various data sources... eg.  DataGrid control
3. RichControls - Usually do not have HTML counterparts... These are usually composite controls which in themselves contain other controls... eg. Calendar control
4. Validation Controls - As the name suggest they are used for validation purposes and can validate many type of user inputs.... eg. RegularExpressionValidator
