[BindableAttribute(true)] [PersistenceModeAttribute(PersistenceMode::InnerDefaultProperty)] public: virtual property String^ Text { String^ get (); void set (String^ value); }
<asp:Label Text="String" />
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe text content of the control. The default value is String::Empty.
Implements
ITextControl::TextUse the Text property to specify or determine the text content of the Label control. This property is commonly used to programmatically customize the text that is displayed in the Label control.
The Text property can include HTML. If it does, the HTML will be passed unchanged to the browser, where is might be interpreted as markup and not as text. If you want the browser to display HTML markup as plain text, you can use the HtmlEncode method, as shown in the example for the class overview. You can also use the Literal control instead of the Label control, and set the Mode property to Encode.
