Basicly Wendelius gave you an alternative Solution.
Independant from that should your code work too if Textbox1 contains a value which could be converted to a number by Val.
When do you assign the new Size-Value to the Label ? Which Event from which Control causes this ...?

Solution 1

Instead of modifying the Size property try to set the Width property of the label control. In other words:

VB

Label6.Width = Val(TextBox1.Text)

Also ensure that Label.AutoSize Property (System.Windows.Forms)[^] is not set

Solution 2

Make sure to set AutoSize property of the label to False; Otherwise, you cannot set any custom size.

VB

label6.AutoSize = False
label6.Width = CInt(TextBox1.Text)

There's a ton of problems with this, namely font size, varying character width, whitespace content of the string, ...

There is far batter ways of doing this without taking uneducated guesses at string length.

And it doesn't even answer the OP's question.
