### Examples

HTMLSelect
In this example we declare an HtmlImage and an HTMLSelect control in an .aspx file (remember to embed the controls inside an HtmlForm control). Then we modify the src property of the HtmlImage control based on user choices. The value selected in the HtmlSelect control determines which image to display.
