Aligning text

Joe
Hello All:

Is it possible to align text (left, center, right) in a label, literal or
literalcontrol? I haven't seen any examples and can't seem to work this one
out (which means that it is probably straightforward ;)). I know I could use
a CSSClass, but am wondering if there is something here that I have missed.

TIA,

“The Literal control is similar to the Label control, except the Literal
control does not allow you to apply a style to the displayed text. You can
programmaticall y control the text displayed in the control by setting the
Text property.”
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...US,VS.80).aspx

To align text in a label use cssClass (where the style attribute text-align
is set to left, right, center, etc..). You would typically use the literal
control if you need a placeholder (for the ASP.NET engine to use for
rendering other controls) for controls to be added programmaticall y, in which
case you can set their style individually.
