Remarks

Use the ID property to identify and reference a particular wizard step control in a Web Forms page. The ID value becomes the name of the control instance in the page; this allows you to easily access a particular step in code for that page. For example, if you set the ID property of a WizardStepBase control to "Step1", you can reference the child controls of the wizard step in code for that page as Step1.Controls.

The WizardStepBase control ensures that each step in a Wizard control has a valid unique identifier when steps are added or modified at design time. For example, when you set the ID for a step at design time, it cannot match the identifier for another step contained in the Wizard control, and it cannot match the ID for the containing Wizard control.
