I took this from MSDN April2001 edition

However, there is a fixed limit of 254 control names per form. A control array counts only once toward this limit because all the controls in the array...

actually there is a limit in VB6.0 i.e we can not use more than 255 controls in a form......that is why i was wondering that .....Is there any limit to it in VB.NET

Can anyone tell me the limit of number of controls that can be used on the form
