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 :)

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
}
