How is this done?

[jim]

There are a few apps out that allow a user to mouseover a webpage and the
app highlights the portion (be it a DIV, cell, table, whatever) of the
webpage that the mouse is over by placing a colored box around it and allows
the user to select this portion.

One such app is an addon for Firefox called clipmarks. You can see a demo
at http://clipmarks.com/how-to-clip/.

How would I do the same thing in .Net, using the webcontrol? Do I need a
special webcontrol?

That feature (highlight a part of webpage) is implemented by JavaScript
and CSS. It don't get into .NET, Java or PHP, they are server technology.
So if you want to do it, you could use a JavaScript library to make it
easier. Try for jQuery (http://jquery.com/)
