Is it ok to have 2 controls in 2 different forms/usercontrols to have the same name?

Question

Let's say I have declared a oledDbAdapter1 in Form1, and another in Form2 with exactly the same name. Will this cause any conflict?

Answer 1

No the fully qualified object name must be unique. So in your case you have:

MyApplication.Form1.oledDbAdapter1 

and

MyApplication.Form2.oledDbAdapter1 

Where MyApplication is the name of the Application or Assembly

So this will not cause an issue. But you can't have two objects called oledDbAdapter1 in Form1
