Gets or sets the label text.

Namespace: MindFusion.Reporting
Assembly: MindFusion.Reporting

 Syntax

C#  Copy Code

public string Text { get; set; }

Visual Basic  Copy Code

Public Property Text As String

 Property Value

A string representing the label's text.

 Remarks

This property is ignored if the label is data-bound, that is, its DataField property is not empty. The text of the label in this case is obtained from the data source.

Expressions

The text of the label can contain expressions embedded in it. To embed an expression, simply encompass it in square brackets - '[' and ']'. The following example embeds the expression Now() in the text of a label. The example assumes that label1 is a variable identifying an existing label.

C#  Copy Code

label1.Text = "The time now is [Now()]";

Visual Basic  Copy Code

label1.Text = "The time now is [Now()]"
