防止在ASP.NET Web窗体中自动关闭html标签

Question

I'm learning ASP.NET Web Forms and I'm wondering if it's possible to prevent self closing tags when the html code is generated. For instance, if I create an input element, it will self close. How can I prevent this?

Here is the code I'm referring to:

<asp:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

Thank you!

Edit: I recently installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and this is what I found:

• Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Advanced > XHTML coding style
  • change from True to False

And then:

• Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML (Web Forms) > Formatting > Tag Specific Options > Default Settings > Client tag does not support contents > Closing tag
  • change from Self-closing tag to No closing tag

However, <asp:TextBox runat="server"></asp:TextBox> still gives me <input type="text" /> in the compiled HTML5 code. The result I want is <input type="text"> .

So if anyone knows how to accomplish this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

If you are using Visual Studio 2010, you can go to :

Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Formatting > Tag Specific Options

In here you can change the Default Setting of Client and Server tags to be Seperate / Self-Closing .

You can also change it for specific elements, ie <img> tags by Finding the img item under Client HTML Tags
