# Panel Control in ASP.NET

It provides several [properties](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23331/nootropics-7-different-types-and-their-unique-properties) that allow you to customize the [behavior](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159354/runtimeexception-and-exception-behavior) and display of its content. It will render as a div.
