For ex-

On the designer page, you write the code as

Practical Implementation: -

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label Control"></asp:Label>

<br />

<br />

<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text="Literal Control"></asp:Literal>

But, in page source of browser, you got the code as

<span id="Label1">Label Control</span>

<br />

<br />

Literal Control

D2. Literal control is much lighter than Label control. As seen above.

D3. We can apply styling to Label control. Like changing its font to bold and color to red and backcolor to yellow. But there is no such styling property in Literal property. For Literal, we have to do the styling in code behind file like.

For ex-

Practical Implementation: -

//Applying style on Label Control

Label1.Text = "Label Control";

Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

Label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;

Label1.Font.Bold = true;

//Applying style on Literal Control

Literal1.Text = "<b><font color=\"Red\">Literal control</font></b>";

D4. We follow the basic HTML in a Literal control.
