Prevent self closing html tags in ASP.NET Web Forms

I'm learning ASP.NET Web Forms and I'm wondering if it's possible to prevent self closing tags when the html code is generated. For instance, if I create an input element, it will self close. How can I prevent this?

Here is the code I'm referring to:

<asp:TextBox id="txt1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

Thank you!

Edit: I recently installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and this is what I found:

And then:

However, <asp:TextBox runat="server"></asp:TextBox> still gives me <input type="text" /> in the compiled HTML5 code. The result I want is <input type="text">.

So if anyone knows how to accomplish this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

If you are using Visual Studio 2010, you can go to :

Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Formatting > Tag Specific Options

In here you can change the Default Setting of Client and Server tags to be Seperate / Self-Closing.

You can also change it for specific elements, i.e. <img> tags by Finding the img item under Client HTML Tags
