Hi Abhi,

The Literal control is used to display text on a page. The text is programmable.
This control does not let you apply styles to its content!

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/RoseindiaMaster.master" 
AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Literal.aspx.cs" Inherits="literal" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<div>
<h2 style="color:Green">Literal in ASP.NET 4 , C#h2>
Transform Mode:
<br />
<asp:Literal ID="literal1" Mode="Transform" Text="This is Devmanuals.com" 
runat="server" />
<br />
<br />
Pass Through Mode:
<br />
<asp:Literal ID="literal2" Mode="PassThrough" Text="This is Devmanuals.com" runat="server" />
<br />
   
<br />
Encode Mode:
<br />
<asp:Literal ID="literal3" Mode="Encode" Text="This is Devmanuals.com" 
runat="server" />
div>
asp:Content>

<br />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#000099" />
asp:Content>
