hiddenfield / htmlInputHidden ?

[Guest]

Hi
Should we use hiddenfield control ie. <asp:hiddenfield ... /> or the
htmlInputHidden <input id=... input="hidden" .../>?

if we were going to use htmlInputHidden
How do I declare a htmlInputHidden field manually in code-behind file ?

TIA

You can always use Page.RegisterHiddenField from code to add a hidden dynamically.

If I wanted to use a server control, which one should I use in an *.aspx
file, then how do I define a reference to it in my code-behind file?
TIA

If you don't need a hidden field for client-side script, I would recommend
using the ViewState to store data.
