Hello!

I must say I have been using C# for 1.5 years but asp.net is new to me.
I have not been using html much either.

Below is a simple aspx page below.
I wonder in the code-behind there is a div tag where the two asp.net control
is placed in.

I can for example move this row
<asp:Label ID=lblMyLabel runat=server />
after the div tag
I can also remove the div tag completely.

I both cases there is no visual difference when I run this aspx page
So I wonder can somebody tell me some basic understanding about how to use
this div tag

protected void btnMyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblMyLabel.Text = "Någon <b>klickade</b> på knappen!";
}

</div>

What are you trying to achieve?

A <div> tag would typically be styled using CSS; various tutorials are
available, e.g.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

Look at the page source in your browser to see how ASP.NET renders the
controls.

(Also, you will be better off putting your code in a code-behind page.)

HTH,

Andrew
