HtmlGenericControl.TagName Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the name of the HTML element represented by the HtmlGenericControl control.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Use this property to programmatically determine the element name of the HTML server control. For example, the TagName property for a server-side <span id="MySpan" runat= "server"/> element contains the value "span".
The following code example demonstrates how to use the TagName property to programmatically change a tag name from "Body" to "Font" and back.
