Hi Abhi, The Literal control is used to display text on a page. The text is programmable. This control does not let you apply styles to its content! @ Page Title = "" Language = "C#" MasterPageFile = "~/RoseindiaMaster.master" AutoEventWireup = "true" CodeFile = "Literal.aspx.cs" Inherits = "literal" %> asp : Content ID = "Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID = "head" Runat = "Server" > asp : Content > asp : Content ID = "Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID = "ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat = "Server" > div > h2 style = "color:Green" > Literal in ASP . NET 4 , C # h2 > Transform Mode : br /> asp : Literal ID = "literal1" Mode = "Transform" Text = " This is Devmanuals.com " runat = "server" /> br /> br /> Pass Through Mode : br /> asp : Literal ID = "literal2" Mode = "PassThrough" Text = " This is Devmanuals.com " runat = "server" /> br /> br /> Encode Mode : br /> asp : Literal ID = "literal3" Mode = "Encode" Text = " This is Devmanuals.com " runat = "server" /> div > asp : Content > br /> asp : Label ID = "Label1" runat = "server" Font - Bold = "True" ForeColor = "#000099" /> asp : Content >
