How do I set the allignment property for a label?

I want to make some Center, Some Left to Right and others right to left but I can not find the property..

TextAlign and RightToLeft Properties.

Label1.RightToLeft = True
Label1.TextAlign = BottomCenter

If you want the label it self to be aligned, then the dock property may help.

I get this error with that code..

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.InvalidEnumArgumentException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: Enum argument value -1 is not valid for RightToLeft. RightToLeft should be a value from RightToLeft.

The right to left should be part of the enum:

Label1.RightToLeft= RightToLeft.Yes

Ok, That worked.. Well I didn't get the error but it still is not alighning from right to left..

Here is me setup (in case I am thinking wrong).
On my form I have a label all the way on the right side. THe text varies in that label and I need to to adjust accordingly.. Expanding to the left..

Sounds like you want the AutoSize property.

Label1.AutoSize=True

You may want to dock it to the right also.
