Hi Arvind The Panel control is used as a container for other controls. Ex:- Untitled Page runat=server BackColor=#ff0000 Height=100px Width=100px> Hello World! Text=Hide Panel control runat=server/> using System; using System.Collections; using System.Configuration; using System.Data; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Security; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; using System.Xml.Linq; namespace Panel_placeholder { public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { if (check1.Checked==true) { panel1.Visible=false; } else { panel1.Visible = true; } } } } The PlaceHolder control is used to reserve space for controls added by code. Ex:- Untitled Page Search this website: using System; using System.Collections; using System.Configuration; using System.Data; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Security; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; using System.Xml.Linq; namespace Panel_placeholder { public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { PlaceHolder1.Visible = false; } } } The advantage of using this PlaceHolder is that the textbox button and other content contained within the PlaceHolder opening and closing HTML tags are kept as a single entity. This pays dividends when the example search form is accessed programmatically through the code behind page. For example to hide the entire search form (i.e. text label textbox and button) only a single line of C# code is required: PlaceHolder1.Visible = false; Thanks
