Brilliant, Karrtik lyer. &nbsp;You are a genius. &nbsp;Thanks for teaching me this. &nbsp;There is one small problem though and perhaps you can help me solve it.<br />
<br />
When I drag the VerticalLabel object onto the form, I get this message:<br />
<br />
&quot;Failed to load toolbox item 'VerticalLabel'. &nbsp;It will be removed from the toolbox.&quot;<br />
<br />
Then it disappears from the toolbox until I recompile. &nbsp;Any idea why this is happening?<br />

Make sure the build configuration of your project or the projects in question (that contains this vertical label and the one using it) is set to any cpu. Please refer link below which Microsoft acknowledges. <br />

Thank you, Karrtik. &nbsp;That setting made it possible to add the VerticalLabel to the form. &nbsp;I can run the program and see the vertical label. &nbsp;An image is attached called VerticalLabelImage.docx.<br />

Do you know why I am getting this error?<br />

<div>
Can you press on call stack in the error and paste that? Also how are your projects set up, I mean have you added the vertical label to your exe/app as a class, or have you added the vertical label to a DLL and that's is referred in the exe? <br />
Just seems some set up or configuration issue in getting the msi built.

Here's the call stack:<br />

I added the vertical label to my application as a class.<br />
<br />
Thanks,

<div>
Strange, I suggest you open another question for this issue so that more people can help you. Are you getting this as a compilation error, or this error only pops up when form is opened in designer mode?
</div>


<div>
The error occurs when I try to open the form in designer mode, but it first occurred after I added the Vertical Label and then attempted to build the project.

Thanks for your help, Karrtik.<br />

Is there a way in vb.net to change the direction of a label or a text box so it is vertical and reads bottom to top, rather than being horizontal and reading left to right?

Re-orient text direction

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
