# TableLayoutPanel Control in C#.Net

The TableLayoutPanel [control](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/83439/bipartisan-gun-control-bill-passed-in-us-after-decades) is a [container](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34127/extjs-how-to-set-border-for-the-container) of other control where child [controls](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/66/how-to-create-controls-at-run-time-in-csharp-dot-net) are added within a [table structure](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113649/what-is-the-database-table-structure-of-url-analyzer-details-to-store). When you add a control to a cell of the table, it would reposition itself to the center of the cell.\

##### TableLayoutPanel properties

CellBorderStyle: This [property](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/198559/an-ownership-of-property-in-hua-hin) determines if the cell is outlined with a border or not.

ColumnCount: Determines the number of columns in the table.

RowCount: Determines the number of rows in the table.

Visible: This property determines that TableLayoutPanel control is visible or not. By [default](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/12771/what-is-the-importance-of-default-resources) it is true.

##### Example:

```
private void frmTableLayoutPanel_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){         //Hide TableLayoutPanel         tableLayoutPanel1.Visible = false;}
```
