While working with VS by default the editor generates this:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

Now the ID generated is Button1 i.e First letter capital. My questions is what is the best way to name the controls ?

    btnSubmit is Hungarian notation which I don’t personally consider good for UI programming since the type of control is evident directly through its declaration or intellisense in Visual Studio.

    SubmitButton is better. Generally it takes a form – Purpose-TypeOfControl

    For example

    InputLabel
FirstNameLabel
LastNameLabel
CancelButton

    This is a good reference:

    Update: Hungarian notation is also discouraged by stylecop/Fxcop. So its better to not to use entirely.
