What is the difference between caption and name property in Visual Basic?

Answer 1

in every control(textbox, button, form...) there is Name property and Text property. Name property changes the Name of a control(example Form1 to frmAddBooks, TextBox1 to txtName etc...), Text on the other hand changes only the "caption" of a certain control, in other words, the text to be displayed on that control.

You can put it this way....Michael Jordan is the name of the player and Chicago is the text written on his Jersey.God Bless.

Answer 2

The name property is the user-defined name through which you refer to a specific control. It works in conjunction with the index property when working with an array of objects of the same type. The name of an object cannot be changed at runtime; it is a design-time property.

The caption is an optional property used for the purpose of display at runtime. Unlike the name, the caption can be changed at runtime.
