Ok I have a textbox on a user control, and I set the MaxLength property to 3, but it does not stop at 3 when the program is running. These controls are added at runtime and I have even added the maxLength property in code when building the control. Any ideas?

Appearently btn_click events that add text override the MaxLength property.
So check the text.length in the click event before adding the text...

You had to find out emperically now, but next time you check the help documentation, which in this case in very clear about your inquiry, for example if you press F1 on MaxLength property in designer or code.
With even more explicit info in Note:
