YourControl.Parent property will tell that.

yourControl.Parent.GetType();

gives you the type of your Parent control, if you are interested in that. Without the .GetType() you'll get the control itself. Check if it's a panel like this:

if(yourControl.Parent is Panel)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hooray");
}

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

Honestly, one day in this forum, I'm not gonna get beaten to the punch. It's like tenth time in a row that's happened. ;>

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));

You answered two minutes before me, therefore "beat me to the punch". And it seems like that has happened like 10 times to me already ;> "Someone beat me to the punch."

var question = (_2b || !(_2b));
