I see a 'Tag' property in the design view for most WinForms controls. I have never used this tag and want to know why I would want to use it.
Similar to Google Analytics for websites, Control Tag is a snippet of code that gets placed in the </head> section of a website to enable tracking, targeting and more.
Windows Forms controls are reusable components that encapsulate user interface functionality and are used in client-side, Windows-based applications. Not only does Windows Forms provide many ready-to-use controls, it also provides the infrastructure for developing your own controls.
Most forms are designed by adding controls to the surface of the form to define a user interface (UI). A control is a component on a form used to display information or accept user input.
A Label control is used as a display medium for text on Forms. Label control does not participate in user input or capture mouse or keyboard events. A Label control is used as a display medium for text on Forms. Label control does not participate in user input or capture mouse or keyboard events.
It allows you to store some of your own data with a control. It mostly useful in tree
controls where you might want each node/leaf to have some extra data associated with it. This way when you click on a node you can perform an action relevant to the node.
Its a general "catch-all" for additional data you wish to store with a control.
I too have never used it.
