The Microsoft ASP.NET control templates that are defined in the DefaultTemplates.ascx file at %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\ determine the layout of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 list item forms. These templates can nest controls that in turn use more control templates for form layout definition. The controls can contain HTML markup and Web controls, but not data-bound statements involving <%#...%> syntax. To override a default control template globally on a front-end Web server, you can add a custom .ascx file to the \CONTROLTEMPLATES directory with a control template identifier (ID) that matches the ID of the existing one in the DefaultTemplates.ascx file.
