How to not render a Panel Control as a

Question

I use Asp.net 4 and C#.

I have a common web control <asp:Panel>. It is my understanding that if the Panel is visible it renders in the Browser as a <div></div> tag.

I would like to know if is possible to change this behavior and display the content of the Panel without rendering its <div>.

Any idea how to do it?
Can I use another control instead of Panel?

An example of code would be appreciated thanks!

Simple :

use PlaceHolder or  Literal

it renders only what it has - nothing more nothing less.

If you use an ASP.NET PlaceHolder control then you will not get the div tags.

Of course if you use a PlaceHolder you will not get a HTML element for this (i.e. a DIV tag) so you cannot set properties such as BackImageUrl or Wrap, etc. on the control.

@kgw - I did say that (in the first sentence). Can you re-read it and just double check, please? – Jonathan Williams Mar 02 '22 at 06:44
