For a start, 2 things:

Controls having runat="server" become a server side control (thus accessible in code behind)
Controls that are created in code-behind are server side controls

All ASP.NET controls are server side and HTML controls are Client Side. You can turn HTML controls into server side by assigning runat=server attribute.
