How to set the Size of the Label in C#?

In Windows Forms, Label control is used to display text on the form and it does not take part in user input or in mouse or keyboard events. You are allowed to set the size of Label control using Size Property. You can set this property using two different methods:

1. Design-Time: It is the easiest method to set the Size property of the Label control using the following steps:

• Step 1: Create a windows form as shown in the below image:
  Visual Studio -> File -> New -> Project -> WindowsFormApp
  
• Step 2: Drag the Label control from the ToolBox and drop it on the windows form. You are allowed to place a Label control anywhere on the windows form according to your need.
  
• Step 3: After drag and drop you will go to the properties of the Label control to set the Size property of the Label.
  

  Output:
  

2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the size of the Label control programmatically with the help of given syntax:

public System.Drawing.Size Size { get; set; }

Here, Size indicates the height and the width of the Label in pixel. Following steps are used to set the Size property of the Label:

• Step 1: Create a label using the Label() constructor is provided by the Label class.

  // Creating label using Label class
  Label mylab = new Label();
  

• Step 2: After creating Label, set the Size property of the Label provided by the Label class.

  // Set Size property of the label
  mylab.Size = new Size(120, 25);
  

• Step 3: And last add this Label control to form using Add() method.

  // Add this label to the form
  this.Controls.Add(mylab);
  

  Example:

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel;
  using System.Data;
  using System.Drawing;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  
  namespace WindowsFormsApp16 {
  
  public partial class Form1 : Form {
  
      public Form1()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
      }
  
      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          // Creating and setting the label
          Label mylab = new Label();
          mylab.Text = "GeeksforGeeks";
          mylab.Location = new Point(222, 90);
          mylab.Size = new Size(120, 25);
          mylab.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
  
          // Adding this control to the form
          this.Controls.Add(mylab);
      }
  }
  }
