How can I add newlines to a Label
's Text
at design time? There are some posts on Stack Overflow on how to do this in code-behind, but there is no post about that for design time yet, it seems?
When you click on the label Text property in the Property window for the label, a drop down will appear in which you can, when you press Enter , go to the new line. I just tried it, and it works in Visual Studio 2010.
We can also use a Panel control to create a multiline label in C#. We can place the desired label inside a panel and then handle the ClientSizeChanged event for the panel. The ClientSizeChanged event is invoked whenever the size of a control inside the panel changes. We can resize the label with the Label.

Here's a screenshot to clarify:
Design Time \r\n will do the trick -
label1.Text = "Multi-line \r\nlabel"
Also you can try setting in designer generated code -
this.label2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(151, 120); this.label2.Name = "label2"; this.label2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(35, 13); this.label2.TabIndex = 1; this.label2.Text = "Multi-line \r\n label";
Run time -
label1.Text = "Multi-line" + Environment.NewLine + "label";
