How to Wrap a Label in WebForms

Question

I have a label in my Webform. I want to wrap its text, so that it will automatically linebreak after a particular width in pixels.

The text for the label is coming from the database

        Label lblU = new Label();
       lblU.ID = "LabelU" + i.ToString();
        lblU.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i][0].ToString() + " : ";

There's no property like Autoresize or MaximumWidth, do I need some assembly references or something?

this is the Bug I want to overcome

Try `lblU.Width = Unit.Pixel(100)`. Webforms is HTML, a label will generate a `` — codingbiz, Nov 14 '14 at 20:56

The Label control renders as a <span> element, so just set its width via a style sheet:

I see that your example text has no white space. In that case, you have to set the word-wrap property to break-word

span {width:5em; word-wrap:break-word}
