How do I set the font for a System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label?

The "font" property is read-only. That is just terribly frustrating. All I want to do is set the font.

Okay, I did a workaround. You cannot give .font a font, but you CAN give .font.name a string like "tahoma". You CAN also give .font.size an integer.

Still, it is aggravating that .font is a read-only property.

.font is a Public Overridable ReadOnly property and is of type System.Web.UI.WebControls.FontInfo which is a class. That is why you have to drill down to the actual properties you can set.

Rather than hard-coding these values in your code, a font should be assigned via a css file so that changes can be made vwithout having to recompile and redeply your application.
