ASP.NET.in.a.Nutshell.Second.Edition [Electronic resources]

The ASP.NET parser automatically creates LiteralControl instances for any text or HTML it finds in a page that does not correspond to a server control, and then adds them to the containing control's Control.Controls collection. You should not confuse this class with the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal control class, which can be used to add simple text to a web page (much like an unformatted Label control).

public class 
LiteralControl  : Control {
// Public Constructors
public 
LiteralControl ( );
public 
LiteralControl (string 
text );
// Public Instance Properties
public virtual string 
Text {set; get; }
// Protected Instance Methods
protected override ControlCollection 
CreateControlCollection ( );// overrides Control
protected override void 
Render (HtmlTextWriter 
output );       // overrides Control
}
