how to set the size of the text of a label in asp.net.

[Nitinkcv]

Hi,

Im currently displaying a Notes contents in the text of a label. this notes column is retrieved fron the database and is of type nvarchar(2000)... and this label is currently inside a repeater. so my prob is that if the length of the notes is too long the width of the notes column increases too much thereby increasing the width of the page.. so is there way in which i could fix the size of the label text which is displayed my repeater..

Thanks,
Nitin..

I dont think so , by default there is any function or not but you can try to use this on

in DATALIST Control there is an evet called Item Created in that event you can do one thing . check here your lable.text.lenght is more then xxx number of characters , then delete the remaining string.

 void Item_Created(Object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
      {
 
         if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || 
             e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
         {
 
            // Retrieve the Label control in the current DataListItem.
            Label PriceLabel = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("PriceLabel");
 
            // Retrieve the text of the CurrencyColumn from the DataListItem
            // and convert the value to a Double.
            Double Price = Convert.ToDouble(
                ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem).Row.ItemArray[2].ToString());
 
            // Format the value as currency and redisplay it in the DataList.
            PriceLabel.Text = Price.ToString("c");
 
         }

Hi,

i'm already using the function

private void Item_Created(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Button _deleteButton = (Button)e.Item.FindControl("btnDelete");
_deleteButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return deleteUser();");

Button _moveUserButton = (Button)e.Item.FindControl("btnMoveUser");
_moveUserButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return moveUser();");
}
}

this is to check for confirmation of deletion and updation with the help of javascript.. is the function that u mentioned same as this one..

I find that CSS usually gives the best results for these kind of things.
