### Description

Gets or sets an identifier for the frame. It must be a one-based value. A value of zero indicates that the image, text frame, chart, barcode or drawing has no identifier. Zero can also be used to delete a previously set identifier.

### Syntax

```csharp
public int ID { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property ID As Integer
```

### Examples

The following example adds a callout frame and works with it through the common frame API by using `FrameBase.ID`.

```csharp
TextFrame callout = new(new System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) { Name = "Callout" };
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText);
FrameBase frameBase = callout;

frameBase.ID = 100;
Console.WriteLine($"ID used by Frame Base: {frameBase.ID}");
```

```vbnet
Dim callout As New TextFrame(New System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) With { .Name = "Callout" }
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText)
Dim frameBase As FrameBase = callout

frameBase.ID = 100
Console.WriteLine($"ID used by Frame Base: {frameBase.ID}")
```
