Hi Ruchi Mishra  Label control 1. Label control (by default) is rendered as HTML Tag i.e. the Text is enclosed within the HTML Tags. When AssociatedControlID property is set for the Label control it is then rendered as HTML Tag i.e. the Text is enclosed within the HTML Tags. 2. Label control can be styled i.e. its Font Color Font Size etc. can be easily changed. 3. Label control can be easily accessed via JavaScript or jQuery. 4. Generally used for displaying Text content on Web pages. Literal control 1. Literal control is rendered as is i.e. it is not enclosed within any HTML Tags. 2. Literal control cannot be styled as it does not use any HTML tag. 3. Literal control in spite of giving ID is rendered without ID hence cannot be accessed via JavaScript or jQuery. 4. Generally used for adding HTML content on page for example suppose you want to add HTML Tag and if you would use Label it would not be correct HTML since as per W3C Standards an HTML cannot be rendered within a or tag. The answer is helpful.Then please accept the answer ..!!!
