Question

What’s the difference between typing some text on a page vs inserting a label and typing some text into that label ?

Any reason why somebody would want to use a label vs just type text on the page ?

The only advantage that I can think of is that a label can be updated easily ( e.g user clicks a button , in the event code for the click action one can write something like label1.Text = “some value” )

Thanks

You’ve nailed it. Putting text inside a label control allows you easy programmatic control over that portion of the page, while putting it directly in the HTML requires you to then jump through extra hoops if you want to modify it later.
