The Tag property serves no specific purpose. It is intended to be a user property. For instance, if you have several buttons and a single click event handler, you can put different numbers in the Tag property for each button and use that value for some specific purpose.


    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click, Button3.Click
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("The Tag value for the button that was clicked is " & sender.Tag)
    End Sub
