I’ve made a basic page in ASP.NET WebForms and I was wondering why there are lots of literal controls appearing in the ASP.NET trace. Here a picture.
Thanks.

All text gets turned into
Literalsby the compilation engine. When ASP.NET renders the page it take all you markup(<span>hello</span>), code(Control.Add(...)) and controls(<asp:button/>) and builds a control tree.This is an older article but it explains how the compilation works:
