You can use the

C#

TextRenderer.MeasureText Method

Like...

C#

Font font = new Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Regular);
string a = "some text you need to display";
Size size = TextRenderer.MeasureText(a, font);
label1.Size = size;
label1.Text = a;

The

C#

Size size = TextRenderer.MeasureText(a, font);

gets the size of the text in pixel. Change the size of your label,

C#

label1.Size = size;

, and print the text.

Solution 1

always use percentage (like size="100%") value instead of using fixed pixel value

We need to override OnTextInput for a label in C#. when we add some text to a label,this method will be called. we can change the size of the label by calculating its width and height of the input text....

using(Graphics g = CreateGraphics())
{
SizeF size = g.MeasureString(text, lbl.Font, 495);
lbl.Height = (int) Math.Ceiling(size.Height);
lbl.Text = text;
}

we can also use TextRenderer.MeasureText() method to get size of the input text.

flexible label size according to its text length
