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?

Have you tried it? Was it ok? – Tim Schmelter Mar 11 '14 at 10:15 — Tim Schmelter, Mar 11 '14 at 10:15
Yes. No problem so far. But I want to be sure. – Nerdsworth Mar 11 '14 at 10:16 — Nerdsworth, Mar 11 '14 at 10:16

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
