ImageMap control is used to create an image that contains clickable hotspot region. When user click on the region, the user is either sent to a URL or a sub program is called. When it is rendered on the page, it is implemented through <img /> HTML tag.

Its properties like BackColor, ForeColor, BorderColor, BorderStyle, BorderWidth, Height etc. are implemented through style properites of <img>.

Following are some important properties that are very useful.
ImageUrl Url of image location.
AlternetText Appears if image not loaded properly
Tooltip Appears when on mouse over the image
ImageAlign Used to align the Text beside image.
HotSpotMode PostBack/Navigate .... When Navigate, the user is navigated to a different URL. In case of PostBack, the page is posted back to the server.
OnClick Attach a server side event that fires after clicking on image when HostSpotMode is PostBack.
