How can I make a label control wrap text after I assign the max. size it could have?

You acheive this using a CSS class
.word
{
word-wrap: break-word
}

I used the following solution.. but it doesn't offer nice word wrapping I suppose:

Label label = new Label();
label.Text = "this is a veeeeeery long string! Well.. actually it isn't, but it's long enough for this example...";
int charactersFitted, linesFilled;
Graphics g = label.CreateGraphics();
// measure the width of the string.. the size given is the maximum width for the label and a large enough height
g.MeasureString(label.Text, Font, new SizeF(label.Width, 9999), StringFormat.GenericTypographic, out charactersFitted, out linesFilled);
label.Height = Font.Height * linesFilled + 2;

As Praesidium stated, a GrePreferredSize() solution might be a possibility too, but I have no experience and no example of this.

Hmm, yup, GetPreferredSize would also work.

Label label = new Label();
Size maxSize = new Size(100, 100);
label.Text = "this is a veeeeeery long string! Well.. actually it isn't, but it's long enough for this example...";
label.Size = label.GetPreferredSize(maxSize);

This actually a lot less code :P *uses code in project*

Anyway, the GetPreferredSize method calculates the size that it needs to display its text (or whatever is on the label), but it heeds the maximum size you want to give it (it's actually called 'proposedSize', so I'm not sure how aaccurate this actually would be)

I turned off the AutosSize and then in designer, I was able to click and drag border of the label box.  That' it.  It does the text wrapping automatically with in the size I made.  thanks.
