Accepted answer
Create a new aspx page in VS, copy paste head section then body section from html,
and replace html controls with Asp.Net controls or add runat="server" tag to the controls which you want to use from code behind.

Mostly controls like button,textboxes,checkbox,DataBound controls etc you need server side to access those from code behind. And you dont need to care about static text elements like labels. Dont forget to verify Css Classes while replacing html controls with Asp.Net server controls.
