Hello,

I am creating a Generic.List(Of ...) to hold a few controls.

What is the difference between Control and WebControl in Asp.Net?
Which one should I use?

Thanks,

Miguel

All asp server controls (like TextBox) inherits directly or indirectly
from WebControl and WebControl inherits from Control.
All html server controls (like HtmlInputText) inherits directly or
indirectly from HtmlControl and HtmlControl inherits from Control.

I would use WebControl if I was only using asp server controls but use
Control if I was dealing with html server controls as well.
