The Panel control is a container for other controls. It is especially useful when you want to generate controls programmatically, hide/show a group of controls, or localize a group of controls.
The Direction property is useful for localizing a Panel control's content to display text for languages that are written from right to left, such as Arabic or Hebrew.
The Panel control provides several properties that allow you to customize the behavior and display of its contents. Use the BackImageUrl property to display a custom image for the Panel control. Use the ScrollBars property to specify scroll bars for the control.
The following example illustrates the use of a Panel control to generate controls programmatically and to hide/show a group of controls.
