public:
   Form1()
   {
      InitializeComponent();
      this->label1->Text = this->Handle.ToString();
   }
public Form1()
{
   InitializeComponent();

   this.label1.Text = this.Handle.ToString();
}
Public Sub New()
    InitializeComponent()
    
    Me.label1.Text = Me.Handle.ToString()
End Sub

Remarks

Depending on the implementer, the value of the Handle property could change during the life of the window.
