Query related to Label wrapping

Question

Hi All I have an requirement where I will have a string data obtained from DB. The length of string data may vary randomly. Now I am working on Win form which will display this string data based on following conditions: Data will be wrapped if it exceeds the width of Label. Wrapping of data will be for only 2 lines. I know how to wrap the label but I want to know how I would limit the wrapping uptill 2 lines. If it exeeds 2 lines also then it should get trimmed. Plzz help me. TIA :) Supriya

I'm not sure but I can do the job you can make use of the GDI using (System.Drawing.Graphics g = myLabel.CreateGraphics()) { // Set the width of the label to include the full size of the text myLabel.Width = (int) g.MeasureString(myLabel.Text myLabel.Font).Width + 10; // Pad with 10 pixels }
