  Does the WinForms suite provide a label control that can be set at various angles including vertical?

  Hi,

  There is no label control that supports Text rotation. Most of the controls do have their own methods to draw rotated text (like rotating text using Styles).

  If you want to implement vertical text label then you can override the label’s OnPaint event and draw the string (using StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical enum).

  Please refer the attached sample for an example.

  OnPaint event was what i was trying to avoid. Thanks for the sample though.

  Hi,

  There is no other way to do this. Since the normal rendering is horizontal, we would need to override this in OnPaint.
