---

Buttons in a Web Forms page allow the user to send a command. They submit the form to the server and cause it to be processed along with any pending events.

Web server controls include three types of buttons:

• a standard command button ( <asp:Button> control ),
• a hyperlink-style button ( <asp:LinkButton> control ), and
• a graphical button ( <asp:ImageButton> control ) .

All three provide similar features, but each offers a different look.
