Difference between DTC's & HTML objects

[chewza]

Is there some "duplication" HTML objects & DTC's?
For example, there is a textbox available on the toolbox under both the DTC and HTML tabs. Both of them can be treated as objects.
When would you use one over another?

HTML toolbar items merely insert HTML into your document.

DTC (Design Time Control) are server side developement controls. They are COM objects that insert server side code into your document. They use special text that InterDev parses and then launches the COM object to control that part of the document.

hope that helps

Great - thanks a lot.
Since you say server side, does this effectively mean that they take over job of writing ASP code for you?
This also seems to imply that they are only appropriate for ASP pages, since html pages are not executed on the server..??

Thanks again for your input!

yes that is correct.
