Remarks

The Panel control is used as a container for other controls, especially when controls are generated programmatically.

The PanelDesigner class provides design-time support for Panel controls in a visual designer. However, for all new implementations of the Panel control, use the PanelContainerDesigner instead of the PanelDesigner.

In a visual designer, when you switch from Source to Design view, the markup source code that describes the associated Panel control is parsed and a design-time version of the control is created on the design surface. When you switch back to Source view, the design-time control is persisted to markup source code and edited into the markup for the Web page.

The MapPropertyToStyle method maps a specified property and value to a specified markup style. The OnBehaviorAttached method provides notification when a behavior is attached to the designer.
