How to display part of a string underlined to an asp.net Label control?

I have an asp Label control used for displaying error messages to the user. My client would like certain words in these messages to be underlined. How would this be accomplished?

Thank you, James

This is the best way and sample code. 

<asp:Label ID="Label88" runat="server" Font-Underline="true" Font-Bold="true" Text="RESULT"></asp:Label>

Simpler version of David Andres's solution : 

Label.Text = "this is an <u>underlined expression</u>";

The contents of a literal control are not html encoded so you could swap out the label control then insert tags around the words you want underlined.

<asp:Literal ID="lblTitle" runat="server" Text='my <u>underlined</u> text' />

Though a bit hacky, you can assign HTML markup to the Label's Text property. Something like this should suffice:

Label.Text = "this is an <span class='underlineIt'>underlined expression</span>";

The would assign class underlineIt to the words "underlined expression." Within the underlineIt CSS class, you can set the rule text-decoration: underline.

I total misunderstood the question blah.

Embed the HTML into the label's text property.
