I am trying to generate an html div in asp.net.
Since a div is considered as an HtmlGenericControl, I tried using that but don't know how to define the type of control, therefore it always generates a "span".
Any ideas on how I can define it as a div?
Just a quick Google query gave me this:
HtmlGenericControl div = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
If you want to define it in your codebehind you can use:
HtmlGenericControl myDiv = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
//You can now put this control in the children of another control by using
myOtherControl.Children.Add(myDiv); //for example a placeholder or panel
In your ASPX page you can also create a div which is accessible in your code behind by using:
<div runat="server" ID="DivMyDiv"></div>
An <asp:Panel></asp:Panel> renders as a <div></div>
