Justify your text into the right.

You need to apply formatting to get it to look the way you want.

how to do that please ellaborate

I have no idea. You have not shared your code. Is the text html? Is it a table? Are you using spaces? Did you try right justifying? etc, etc.

its a vb.net destop based application where there is very big amount of data in data base
i am jsut creating amount of labels as in database at runtime
and using input box on right click of mouse and the the text in put box is appended in label
my problem is i dont lnw how to format that label created on runtime
as in static label i can doo this by inserting blank space in text property
but here i dnt knw how much amount of data will be there in database

ZurdoDev 19-Apr-13 9:17am

So did you just try right-justifying?

Omkaara 20-Apr-13 2:29am

yup i tried right justify but it does not works when i changes the size of label at runtime

actully code is so vast thts y i cant share my code
actully every thing is dynamically done using add handler

It's hard to give good advice when you don't post the code you are currently using to fill the text of the label. If your database stores first, middle, and last names seperately then when you put the text in the label, include a newline after the middle name. Then a tab and/or the number of spaces that would move the last name over to where the end of "NAME:" is, and then append the last name.

use vbNewLine[^] or vbCRLF[^] (which stands for carriage return line feed).

I assume it would look something like this:

VB

lblYourLabel.Text = "NAME: " & Trim(strFirstName & " " & strMiddleName) & vbNewLine & "     " & strLastName

no the whole name is in one field itself
on rightclick mouse event i am calling input box in which i enter the text;
that particular text appends the existing label text as a prefix
since its dyanamic i can change heigt and widht of label at runtime
so the text of label i want to format which will look like
prefix : value from
database

If you can assume that the last name doesn't have a space in it, you could split the input and then use the code I've posted above. Other than that, I think right justifying as these others have suggested is your best bet. There is no other way to get it to understand how you want your formatting. I don't know how you could set margins or indents in label the way you can in a word processing program like Microsoft Word. However, it appears a RichTextBox control can. If you could use that and put it in read only mode instead of a label, perhaps that would work. See MSDN:
