Hi Craig,
to do it by hand this is what you do..
in your html you would add this
asdf

and then in your code behind (i'm using c# but is the same for vb.net)
you should declare the control like

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label label1;

in your class constructor you have to create a new instance of the control =
by
label1 =3D new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label();
and then attach any events to it.
VS.Net does this for you and writes this code in the
InitializeComponent method when you drag and drop a control.
what i do is drag the control to the web form and then place the
control in HTML manually, this way i get the code behind and have more
control.

in vs.net settings there is an option to make all your tags and
attributes lowercase.
