Use the Label control to display text in a set location on the page. Unlike static text, you can customize the displayed text through the Text property. You can also use the Literal and PlaceHolder controls to display text on the Web Forms page.


You should use the <asp:Label...> as detailed in this blog post on Haacked

<asp:Label id="label" AssociatedControlId="txtPais" Text="Pais:" runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox id="txtPais" runat="server" CssClass="textInput" />

This should convert correctly with the ID being converted.
