Sometimes, I see code something like this:

<asp:ListItem Value="SomeValue">SomeValue</asp:ListItem>

<asp:literal id="SomeId" Runat="server" Text="SomeText"></asp:literal>

Why put asp: when I can just use <ListItem>...</ListItem> ? What is the benefit of using it?

  • When a browser requests an HTML file, the server returns the file
  • When a browser requests an ASP file, IIS passes the request to the ASP engine. The ASP engine reads the ASP file, line by line, and executes the scripts in the file. Finally, the ASP file is returned to the browser as plain HTML

What can ASP do for you?
