A Header Control (not to be confused with a Heading Control) is a simple container control that is rendered using a <header> HTML tag. Its primary purpose is to act as a container for other controls which can be laid out according to the selected layout – click here for a general discussion on container controls and layouts.
A Header Control is functionally identical to a Panel Control and inherits all its properties and behaviour. The only difference is that it uses <header> instead of a <div> as the enclosing HTML tag.
A Header Control is a landmark control that should normally be used to contain static information about an organisation e.g. organistion name and logo. This information will often be skipped by un-sighted users using a screen reader. See Designing Accessible Applications for more information.
