Property Value

String containing the name of the control
Remarks

The name of a control must start with a letter and can contain a maximum of 40 characters. It can include numbers and underscore characters, but it cannot include punctuation or spaces. Different controls used on the same form cannot share the same name.

Notes:
  • Although some controls use the Name property value as the default value for the Text property, changing either property does not affect the other.
  • For more information, see the Name property in the Microsoft .NET Framework Reference.

You cannot change the name of a control at run time.

Note: Changing the name of a control can affect existing code that uses the name.
