Why you have put comparison in while?
It's wrong boolean operation by the way.

Solution 1

You can't compare a char with a string!
What you actuall want to say is:

C#

while (maxlength < myLabel.Text.Length)

Or more probably

C#

if (maxlength < myLabel.Text.Length)

Solution 2

You are using an operator on essentially a string value, which is not allowed. You need to declare your variables with a specific datatype. Your maxLength variable needs to be an int, not a char and Label.text needs to be Label.Text.Length.

Solution 3

Label does not have a maxlength property.
The best you can do is handle the keydown event and then ensure that the count is less than 10.

For e.g.

private label1_keydown(sender o, keydowneventargs a)
{
  if (label1.Length)>10 
  {
    label1.Text = label1.Text.SubString(0,10);
  }
}
