I need to check whether a control is a descendant of another control. Will Control.Contains do the job, or does that only search for first-level child controls?

Control.Contains makes a recursive search. So it will return true for this case:
where ctrl1 contains ctrl2, and ctrl2 contains ctrl3 (for example).
BTW: .NET Reflector is a great tool to find out such things.
