Use the Pages and Controls feature page to configure the settings of ASP.NET pages and controls. These settings control the behavior of ASP.NET pages, set how ASP.NET pages and controls will be compiled on the server, define the namespaces that are included for each page, and define the session state and validation services settings.
Use the Display list to select one of the following options that specifies how the settings are displayed: Friendly Names, Configuration Names, or Both Names.

The following tables describe the UI elements that are available on the feature page and in the Actions pane.
