There's also a HasChildren() property:<br />

So:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; If Panel1.HasChildren() Then<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; End If

Hello,<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm working in a VB.NET Windows project that contains a panel. The user adds records to this panel by selecting an item from a combo box outside this panel. The records get added to the panel in textboxes. &nbsp;When the user is done, they submit the record(s) in the panel to the database by hitting a button below the panel. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I want to check whether the user has added any records in the panel before submitting them to the database. &nbsp;I'm hoping to have something in the button that checks whether the panel is empty ( it has no records &nbsp;= no textboxes) before submitting. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to check whether a panel has no controls in it?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
