I was curious....

It looks liek most of the HTML tags have .NET versions, with the ability to
alter them programmatically.

All except FRAME and FRAMESET.

Am I missing something?

You're right, I think. They haven't created an HtmlFrame class or the like.
As the <frame> element itself does not cry out for dynamism, I don't think
this is too much of a shortcoming. Most dynamic features of a frameset are
a matter of intricate JavaScript, right? You can create such a control
yourself -- we plan to do so, mainly as a way to allow the majority of our
content pages to live in blissful ignorance as to whether or not they are
living framed or unframed, with JavaScript filling the gaps.

There are actually MANY html tags that don't have HtmlControl equivalents.
From what I can tell... they chose the ones they did because they make =
sense for webforms.

This does not stop you from creating your own control.
All you would need to do is subclass from HtmlControl or HtmlContainerContr=
ol, add the tag-specific properties, and override the render method.

Actually, it is really not the case that "most of the HTML tags have
.NET versions". Only a small subset do. However, keep in mind that you
can put runat=3Dserver on *any* HTML tag, in which case it becomes an
HtmlGenericControl, which lets you access the attributes.

Hi,
You can still use the runat="server" attribute for frameset tags. To access frameset tags from codebehind you will need to declare them as HtmlGenericControl. Here is an example of adding attributes to a frameset tag..

.aspx page
<frame id=frame1 runat="server" />

from .vb codebehind file
Public frame1 as HtmlGenericControl

Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim SendToMsdn as Boolean = True
If SendToMsdn Then
frame1.attributes.add("src","http://msdn.microsoft.com";)
else
frame1.attributes.add("src","http://www.yahoo.com";)
End IF

End Sub

Cheers!
dave
