or

Hi,
you can set class or style for your label.
Es:

ASP.NET

<asp:label text="..." runat="server"
    style="width:200px; height:200px; white-space: nowrap(or normal); 
    overflow: hidden(or scroll)"
</asp:label>

otherwise

you can break you text in rowdatabound event:

ASP.NET

<asp:label text='<%# breakMyString(Eval("_COUNTRY"), 60) %>' />

C#

protected string breakMyString(string inString, int len)
{
    string outString = inString;
    string suffix = " more...";
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(inString) && inString.Length > len)
        outString = string.Concat(inString.Substring(0, len - suffix.Length), suffix);

    return outString;
}
