Remove ID from ASP.net WebControl On Render

I've created an asp.net webcontrol and I don't want it to render the ID="" attribute at all on the client side. How do I do this?

I've noticed that if I do this it doesn't render the ID="": 

<tag:Name runat="server"/>

Output: <span />

If however I do this I get the ID: 

<tag:Name ID="ABC" server=""/>

Output: <span ID="ABC" />

I'm not concerned with the "Content_ctl00" text, I just don't want the ID attribute rendered at all.

I'm assuming this can be done in either Render or RenderContents, I just don't know how to do it.

Edit: I don't need the ID attribute on either the client or the server side. If its supplied in the aspx page I want it ignored and not rendered (it can be dropped server side).

This did the job:

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
  ID = null;
  base.Render(writer);
}
