Set DIV text in code behind

if i want to set the text inside a div (or other properties like "class") from my code behind, as what to i declare it? htmlgenericcontrol? If so, what attribute do i set.

html:
<div id="divtest" runat=server></div>
code behind:
protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.WHAT?? divtest;
...
...
divtest.WHAT?? = "seems to work";Html part is fine. After you've created it, look at it in the design view, save the page, then go to the codebehind, you should be able to see an html div control (some name)... set its innerText property.
hmmm...not so sure

I always have to code the "protected htmlcontrol whatever mycontrol" myself in my project. VS never do it for me. SOMETIMES, VS will add this for me for asp.net controls though.

Maybe something to do with the fact I ALWAYS hand code my pages...never drag and drop onto form...

...aaah...stupid me..let me drag some html controls onto the form and see what VS do for me... sorry..always talk to myself huh?
It's a VS 2003 bug that I discovered much to my consternation when VS 2003 had just come out. Surprisingly, it was addressed by nobody. Everyone thought it was a feature rather than a bug, I even asked MS developers about it, and they did fix it in VS 2005 but they mentioned that very few people ever brought it up regarding VS 2003.

The workaround was that you have to save the ASPX page before going to the codebehind so that the control's code was added to the codebehind file.
