I don't know anything about ASP unfortunately.

But it looks like you are generating the styling of the button via server side scripting which I don't think should be necessary. This is usually handled by HTML/CSS which is outputted by your script, not by the script itself necessarily (other than outputting the styling). Form buttons can be styled the same way as any other block element, so if you want to make it an image, you would just use background:url('bla.png') in your CSS to over-ride the default button styling. If you don't specify a background image or colour, the default 3D look the browser applies to the button will remain, but you can alter the text styling without losing the default 3D button look.
