ASP.Net Newbie question

[ranch99ranch99]

I read a piece of code like the following

<asp:TextBox id=myTextBox ...> </asp:TextBox>

Does asp in asp:TextBox is a namespace?

 

[Mike]

its an asp.net control.

a namespace is like
System.IO;
System.Data

[bruce barker]

its an xml namespace reference not to be confused with a .net namespace.

It's an ASP.NET web server control.

There's other ASP.NET web server controls which serve different purposes.

In C#, we can use using namepsace to avoid wring namespace.
I wonder for xml namespace, is there any similar usage?

re:

Although that *looks* like an xml namespace reference,
it's actually a reference to an ASP.NET web server control.

Just because the naming convention for an ASP.NET web server control
*uses* xml-like syntax, doesn't mean that it's an xml namespace reference.

For one, the <asp: reference exists within aspx source code, which isn't xml-based.

web.config and machine.config are xml documents.
*.aspx source code files aren't.
