Changing Label Properties at run time

Changing Label Properties at run time

To change the properties of the label at run time we need a label whose properties we will change and an event on which we can see the changes that we have made are applied so to solve the purpose of an event I have taken a command button or button whose click event will work for as the triggering event.

A Design view is shown here.

There are three controls:

And following changes are made to their properties.

Label1           

            ID: lbl_Name

            Backcolor: Aqua

            BorderColor: #660066

BorderStyle: Double

BorderWidth: 5px

Font:

            Bold: True

            Italic: True

            Name: Book Antiqua

            ForeColor: Red

            Text: Name

ToolTip: Enter Your First Name

Label2

ID: lbl_result

Button1

            ID : btn_click

Text: Click

Then you can either double click on the button in the Default.aspx page or you can double click on the combobox in the properties window under events in front of click event in order to generate the click event.

Once you will do that you will see the following window.

Add the following code to the event and run the project

Now the event will look like

protected void btn_click_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            //lbl_Name.Text = "Meetu Choudhary";

            lbl_Name.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;

            lbl_Name.ForeColor = Color.Red;

            lbl_Name.Font.Bold = false;

            lbl_Name.Font.Italic = false;

            lbl_Name.Font.Underline = true;

            lbl_Name.BorderColor = Color.Black;

            lbl_Name.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Solid;

            lbl_result.Text = lbl_Name.Text;

        }

To use the following line

            lbl_Name.ForeColor = Color.Red;

You need to add

using System.Drawing;

In the using section.

Now you can run the project and when you will click the button at run time you will see the changes.
