This class represents the HTML 4.0 <button> tag, which is only supported in Internet Explorer 4.0 and later. It differs from other button types, including the standard HtmlInputButton control, because it can be composed from embedded HTML elements like images and other ASP.NET server controls. As with all buttons, it provides a click event that you can handle directly (HtmlInputButton.ServerClick) and a property that lets you disable automatic page validation when a postback is triggered by this control (HtmlInputButton.CausesValidation).

public class HtmlButton : HtmlContainerControl, System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler {
// Public Constructors
   public HtmlButton( );
// Public Instance Properties
   public bool CausesValidation{set; get; }
// Protected Instance Methods
   protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e);            // overrides System.Web.UI.Control
   protected virtual void OnServerClick(EventArgs e);
   protected override void RenderAttributes(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer);  // overrides HtmlContainerControl
// Events
   public event EventHandler ServerClick;
