Gets a value indicating whether the control contains one or more child controls.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property HasChildren As Boolean
[C#]
public bool HasChildren {get;}
[C++]
public: __property bool get_HasChildren();
[JScript]
public function get HasChildren() : Boolean;

Property Value

true if the control contains one or more child controls; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the Controls collection has a Count greater than zero, the HasChildren property will return true. Accessing the HasChildren property does not force the creation of a Control.ControlCollection if the control has no children, so referencing this property can provide a performance benefit when walking a tree of controls.
