client side - Set ClientID in asp.net

Question

Is it possible to set the ClientID of any asp.net server control? How can I do this?

Answer 1

The good news is that in VS 2010 .Net 4, you'll have complete control over Client IDs!

Still for the current versions of .Net, you can make due. I assume you need the ID for JavaScript. If so, just get the ID like so:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var myTextBox = $('#<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>');
</script>
