Hi Nathan,
The solution to get the input from the user using an admin page looks interesting.
I was thinking in terms of resource files (.resx files) that can be modified possibly without having to recompile the application. But the problem is we need to recompile the code each time the .resx file is changed.
Also the requirement is to gather the information (many forms having many labels etc) as offline. This way the application can pick up the values from a file (possibly with an xml which can be edited using an editor) and load the form values during page load event. What I need is pros and cons of each method and which is the easy and effective method to implement.
Thanks,

So you want the user's to have the ability to change the text of the label? You will need to create something to identify which department is using the application. You could create a checkbox for each department in your application and then check which checkbox is checked then change the text value of your label based on the selection. Another alternative is to create an Admin page and allow the user to enter the text of the label and save that value to a Session variable or database.
This sounds like it may be for a corporate Intranet. If so I am sure that you have a way of identifying which department the logged in user is a member of. If this is the case just identify which department the user belongs to and change the text of the label based on that. The user would not have to do anything your code would automatically assign the correct text based on the logged in user.
