Remarks

Use the HtmlInputButton class to create button controls on a Web page. An <input type=button> HTML element is a push button with no default behavior when clicked. An <input type=submit> HTML element is a button that submits a form when clicked. An <input type=reset> HTML button resets all controls to their initial values when clicked.

In ASP.NET 2.0, use the HtmlInputReset class and the HtmlInputSubmit class to create Reset and Submit buttons, respectively.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of HtmlInputButton, see the HtmlInputButton constructor.
