Chaging the forecolor for just a part of a label (Asp.Net)

[firebirds98]

I am using .Net and I want to make a specific part of a label a different text color then the label it self.

Ex.

Code: ( text )
lblresults.Text = "We found " + objquote.Count. ToString + " results."


The labels forecolor is Blue but I want the part "objquote.Count .Tostring" part to be red.

I dont want to use multiple labels.

You need to use different labels to show different coloured text.

Labels are rendered as <span> tags. These tags are issued a CSS that controls the colour of the text within the <span> tags. Therefore, you need to use different labels to highlight text.

You could add your own <span> tags within the String that you are creating. Just be aware that some applications are set up to render any html tags found in text as harmless (eg the < is sent to the browser as &lt and the > is sent to the browser as &gt)

EG:

lblresults.Text = "We found <span style="""+"color:#C00000;'""+">" + objquote.Count.ToString + "</span> results."

Had to switch some your quotation marks around but you are awesome.

Thanks for the Code.

Here is what works:

lblresults.Text = "We found <span style=" + "'color:#C00000;'" + " > " + objquote.Count.ToString + " </span> results."

The <font> tag could have worked to.

The <font> tag could have worked to.

I think the <font> tag is considered obsolete...

First the <center> tag now the <font> tag? They're out to get me!
