Is there a way to display the text on a label vertically. I'm trying to put labels at the bottom of a graph so I have plenty of vertical space, but not much horizontal space. I know I can use graphics.DrawString with a StringFormat whose FormatFlags is set to DirectionVertical, but I want to do this on a label instead. Any ideas? Thanks.

Displaying Label's Text Vertically

Found a result on Google you might like...it's a custom control that I think has the source code with it though it might be c#.
How about creating using a bitmap to display the text on?
Create your bitmap, and use graphics.DrawString to put your text into it. You can then use bitmap.RotateFlip to make your text run vertically, and then assign that bitmap to the control?
Perhaps to the Label's Image property?
