Label word wrapping [duplicate]

Change your maximum size,

label1.MaximumSize = new Size(100, 0);

And set your autosize to true.

label1.AutoSize = true;

That's it!

Just set Label AutoSize property to False. Then the text will be wrapped and you can re-size the control manually to show the text.

Refer to Automatically Wrap Text in Label. It describes how to create your own growing label.

Here is the full source taken from the above reference:

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class GrowLabel : Label {
  private bool mGrowing;
  public GrowLabel() {
    this.AutoSize = false;
  }
  private void resizeLabel() {
    if (mGrowing) return;
    try {
      mGrowing = true;
      Size sz = new Size(this.Width, Int32.MaxValue);
      sz = TextRenderer.MeasureText(this.Text, this.Font, sz, TextFormatFlags.WordBreak);
      this.Height = sz.Height;
    }
    finally {
      mGrowing = false;
    }
  }
  protected override void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e) {
    base.OnTextChanged(e);
    resizeLabel();
  }
  protected override void OnFontChanged(EventArgs e) {
    base.OnFontChanged(e);
    resizeLabel();
  }
  protected override void OnSizeChanged(EventArgs e) {
    base.OnSizeChanged(e);
    resizeLabel();
  }
}
