  what about the control's ".Parent" property (to get the container control) or the ".FindForm() " method to get the containing form

  an example from MSDN 2005 by Microsoft:

  // This example uses the Parent property and the Find method of Control to set
  // properties on the parent control of a Button and its Form. The example assumes
  // that a Button control named button1 is located within a GroupBox control. The 
  // example also assumes that the Click event of the Button control is connected to
  // the event handler method defined in the example.
  private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
    // Get the control the Button control is located in. In this case a GroupBox.
    Control control = button1.Parent;
    // Set the text and backcolor of the parent control.
    control.Text = "My Groupbox";
    control.BackColor = Color.Blue;
    // Get the form that the Button control is contained within.
    Form myForm = button1.FindForm();
    // Set the text and color of the form containing the Button.
    myForm.Text = "The Form of My Control";
    myForm.BackColor = Color.Red;
  }

  Components are different than controls and don't have those properties and methods.
