The big difference is a User Control is implemented as an ascx where Server Control is a code based.

A quick Google search will show much more information.

Google is your friend: Be nice and visit him often. He can answer questions a lot more quickly than posting them here...

A very quick search using your subject as the search term gave this as the top hit:
MSDN: Overview of user controls vs. custom controls[^]

In future, please try to do at least basic research yourself, and not waste your time or ours.

SQL

User Control is a page file with extension .ascx which can only be used within a single application.


But custom controls are compiled code components i.e. assemblies(dll files) that can be used across multiple applications.And you will be able to see the control in Toolbox of Visual studio IDE
