Hi Michel,

Instead of an asp:Button control you could use a regular input button, like this:

<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" />

This button will not become an object server side and the ASP.NET engine will simply render its HTML exactly as is.

If, on the other hand, you want to have programatic control over this button server-side you can simply add the runat="server" attribute on the element and it will become available in your code-behind:

In the aspx:

<input runat="server" id="Button1" type="button" value="button" />

In the aspx.cs:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Button1.Value = "Click me";
}
