Limit of no of controls

[sunnypalsingh]

Is there any limit of using number of controls in a form/project
if it is then what is it......

There is no limit that I'm aware of. The only real issue is that more controls can mean reduced performance in certain circumstances. I think that you might also want to keep an eye on usability. If your form has too much on it then it may become confusing to the user. You might ant to rethink your design in that case.

Recently i found that if i add more controls than usually i'm using for the say invoice forms it becomes lazy and also VS.NET Intellisense support is disabled. I asked few poeple around and they just confirmed my suspection that it is kinda bug of vs.net.

tks.....but there is a limit in VB 6.0 i.e.254 controls per form

that is why i was wondering if at all there is any limit in VB.NET

perhaps... you'll choke your computer dead if you put 254 controls on a form in vb.net but i've never added that many controls on a form yet so it's only guessing but however you can test it to be sure

personally if a form has more than 40 controls on it (not counting the menu/statusbar(s)) then you should span it to multiple forms so it doesnt look so cluttered for the user

but that's just me
