Gobicode's HTMLLabel control provides powerful and unique text formatting facilities for Windows Forms developers. The control parses standard HTML tags such as <font> and <img> then updates it's content accordingly.

Designed to replace the basic Label, our flexible control can also be used to render HTML onto the Graphics surfaces of other controls. Examples are provided using C# in our Tips section and also within the demo application which is installed with our assemblies.

The HTMLLabel has not been designed to function as a full Web browser, instead it supports a subset of HTML tags which allow developers to easily format text and images as they wish.
For example, formatting a block of text to be fully justified is as simple as embracing it with the HTML paragraph tag:
<p align="justify"> … </p>

Pixel Perfect Alignment

A significant benefit which the HTMLLabel provides is pixel perfect alignment. Other component providers claim to render HTML formatted text, but only Gobicode guarantees correct baseline alignment no matter which combination of fonts, styles and sizes are being rendered. Competing products often produce output with text misaligned by 3 pixels or more, as shown by the actual screenshot below.
Example of incorrect text alignment
