What is the $create function in ASP.NET AJAX?

Question

I'm familiar with $get() and $find() . But, I've just stumbled across some code I need to work on that calls a function $create() . I can't find anything online or in the code explaining it. The slightly modified call is here:

$create(namespace.aspnetclass, {id: 'foo', groupId: <%= groupId %>}, 
    null, null, $get('divContainer'));

What is $create() supposed to do? Right now, it is doing nothing.

$create是Sys.Component.create()方法的快捷方式，它是MS Ajax库的一部分，用于创建组件（通常称为控件和行为 ）

$create(type, properties, events, references, element);
