Multiline label in asp.net

I want to use a multiline label but as the control is browser dependent, even on setting the height, width and wrap properties of the label control I am unable to display multiline text It doesn't support every browser in the same way.

Labels are single line by default.

But if you want to display multiple lines in a text box, then there is one option that might work. I could not get autowrap to work, but if you want specific line breaks to occur, then

label.text = string1 + "<br/>" + string2 + "<br/>" + string3;

It may seem simple, but the C# Environment.Newline did not work in aspx. Only rendering the <br/> worked for me.

width ="...px"  style="word-wrap:normal; "

If you want to break last word if it exceeds width then style="word-wrap:break-word; " You can use max-width:...px; on style tag for being sure word wrapping if you change width programmaticaly.

You can solve it with "maximunsize" and "autosize" label properties and your problem is solved:

<asp:Label runat="server" style="width:300px;" maximunsize="300px" autosize="true">

You can concatenate the string in asp:label with "<br/>" because it will result in html.

For Example:

label1.Text = strSample1 & "<br/>" & strSample2

If you don't specific the width of label, it will auto expand the width to fit your string.

If you mean asp:Label then it resolves to a span element in HTML output. It is neither single-line or multiline.

Define some fixed width for this element and the text will wrap into several lines when it's long enough.

<asp:Label runat="server" style="width:300px;">
