Yes. It is compatible. Individual controls render markup that is compatible with the XHTML 1.1 standard. It is up to you, however, to include the appropriate document type declaration and other XHTML document elements. ASP.NET does not insert elements for you to ensure XHTML compatibility.

Which IDE are you using? Visual Studio 2005/8 and Visual Web Developer 2005/8 CAN both generate XHTML; check the Tools > Options menu, you'll see the check boxes to use. Be careful; XHTML compliance does not mean correct semantic markup - the Login control (for instance) generates valid XHTML but it is semantically incorrect (it uses a table where one should not be used), you'll also find other controls (the navigation controls are a good example) where they are XHTML compliant but sematically incorrect. You can control the output of any server control by using a control adapter to modify the outout of the control to be both XHTML compliant and sematically correct.

scottage is right, the IDEs produce XHTML compliant code but uses tables quite a lot, especially for repeater data controls. There is a css-friendly control adapter that was initially written for ASP.NET 2.0. Check it here http://code.google.com/p/aspnetcontroladapters/
