VB6 UserControl support this property; by setting this property to True you make the control always invisible at runtime, as is the case of components such as the Timer.

VB.NET doesn’t directly support this property. A UserControl that is always invisible at runtime should be implemented as a class that inherits from System.ComponentModel.Component instead of System.Windows.Forms.UserControl.

VB Migration Partner supports this property and generates a UserControl whose Visible property is always False. Any attempt to set this property to True – either at design-time or runtime – throws an exception.
