Label Class
Represents a label control, which displays text on a Web page.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
[ControlValuePropertyAttribute(L"Text")] [AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)] [AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)] public ref class Label : public WebControl, ITextControl
<asp:Label />
Use the Label control to display text in a set location on the page. Unlike static text, you can customize the displayed text through the Text property.
You can also use the Literal and PlaceHolder controls to display text on the Web Forms page. However, unlike the Label control, these controls do not render any additional tags.
