where to find asp.net control declaration syntax - complete reference
I am learning ASP.NET but am getting frustrated as I can't find anywhere a complete reference on the declarative syntax for the web controls.
Say I want to declare a listbox, for example, in an *.aspx file
I type
<asp:ListBox runat="server" id="listbox1".....
but what attributes am I allowed to use next ?
how do I spell them?
what values can they take?
I know roughly what I want, but if I were using HTML thered be 1001 references on the web that gave me all the possible attributes for every tag.
If I look up ListBox in the VisualStudio documentation, II get all the members, properties, events etc. for the ListBox CLASS in a CODING LANGUAGE (like C# or VB.net).
Fine, but I want the ASP.NET DECLARATIVE syntax, the stuff that goes into the aspx file instead of (X)HTML !!
I'm sure I'm just being dulll and someone will point me the way to the obvious place. That's what i'm hoping anyhow.....

The book I'm using isn't bad: "Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008" (third edition), though I've found a few errors in the text and sample code. But you'd expect that in 1300+ pages the author isn't going to have time to double check everything....

ok, this (and its sub-sections) looks like a better attempt than what I've been finding before....
