Examples

The following code example creates a UserControl that can be reused in multiple applications to get user information. This example adds several Label controls, TextBox controls and an ErrorProvider to the UserControl to gather the user's information. Additionally, the user's email address is validated in the Validating event of the TextBox and the ErrorProvider object is used to give the user feedback if the data fails validation. The code is intended to be compiled into a DLL for reference in other applications.

Remarks

By extending ContainerControl, UserControl inherits all the standard positioning and mnemonic-handling code that is necessary in a user control.

The UserControl gives you the ability to create controls that can be used in multiple places within an application or organization. You can include all the code needed for validation of common data you ask the user to input; some examples of this are email addresses (see Example section), telephone numbers, and postal codes. Another efficient use of the user control is to simply preload a ComboBox or ListBox with static items you commonly use in almost every application; some examples of this are countries/regions, cities, states, and office locations. For more information about authoring custom controls, see Developing Custom Windows Forms Controls with the .NET Framework.

Note

You might consider creating a namespace that contains several classes of user controls and compiling it into one DLL. This DLL can be referenced and distributed with the application or all applications within an organization. This gives you the ability to reference the user control in many applications and save time laying out and coding the contained elements of the user control. A user control also gives you consistency within or across applications; for example, all address information input blocks will all have the same appearance and behavior. Consistency gives your application a more polished and professional appearance.

You can host Windows Forms UserControl-derived classes inside of a form, on another UserControl, inside of Internet Explorer on a web page, or inside a WebBrowser control hosted on a form.

Note

When hosting a UserControl inside of the WebBrowser control, you cannot turn off Visual Styles using the META tag value MSThemeCompatible. For more information about Visual Styles, see Rendering Controls with Visual Styles.
