有没有办法在ASP.NET页面上访问HTML控件？

Question

I am wondering if ASP.NET stores a reference to the HTML controls on an ASP.NET page. Does it store something like a server-side Document Object Model (DOM) for the HTML controls?

I believe qualifying my question with ASP.NET Web Forms or ASP.NET MVC would be irrelevant. However, still, if you were to ask, I am more interested in knowing about Web Forms. Does ASP.NET Web Forms store an object model for the HTML controls on the page?

If you add "runat="server" to most normal html controls, you can reference them in code-behind.

These are in the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls library.

Example: an HtmlAnchor for the <a> tag can be found in MSDN here with a code sample at the end.
