ASP.NET Label control to render text as tag instead of

I want a label control to render text as tag instead of .
I tried to create a server control inheriting label control as mention in the article below
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21634031/Server-control-to-render-text-within-p-tags.html

But it does not work, the control is ok i included it in my project but it does not produce the desired result, it still is tag

My code:

Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls


<DefaultProperty("Text"), ToolboxData("<{0}:ServerControl1 runat=server></{0}:ServerControl1>")>
Public Class ServerControl1
    Inherits System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label

    <Bindable(True), Category("Appearance"), DefaultValue(""), Localizable(True)>
    Protected  Function get_TagKey() As HtmlTextWriterTag
        If Me.AssociatedControlID.Length <> 0 Then
            Return HtmlTextWriterTag.P
        End If
        Return MyBase.TagKey
    End Function

End Class

I'm curious if this will fix it or not:

Public Class ServerControl1
Inherits Label
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property TagKey() As HtmlTextWriterTag
Get
If AssociatedControlID.Length > 0 Then
Return HtmlTextWriterTag.P
End If
Return TagKey
End Get
End Property
End Class

Dan7el, the code does not help.
I am accepting devlab2012's answer as solution although that was not what i was looking for.

Anyways thanks for the prompt response.
