I hope that this sheds a little more light on the differences between the two. Me, personally: I rarely do anything with the Name of an object; I simply don't find them all that useful.
Practically speaking, I don't tend to use either Name or RegId in my code. I guess, when pressed, I'd say that RegId is more useful to end-user code than Name is, because of the automatic event binding.
They both need to be there though. Just don't worry too much about them. When you need to use them, you'll know, and then you can set them to something meaningful. Until then, just accept the defaults ("" for RegID, and something like "dTextBox1" for Name). It really isn't a biggie.
When you start binding controls to data you'll need to set DataSource and DataField, which are the really essential properties for user code to set.
