How Do I Change the render behavior of my custom control from being a span

When writing a custom control it always rendered as an HTML span element. How can I change it for example to a div?

From stackoverflow

• Derive your control from WebControl as follows:

  public class MyCustomControl : WebControl {
      public MyCustomControl() : base(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div) {}
  }
  

  That is, use the base class constructor that accepts the tag to use.
