Getting Started with the Telerik WebForms Label

This article describes a sample scenario where RadLabel is used with a RadDatePicker control.

Add a RadLabel control to the page.

<telerik:RadLabel runat="server" ID="RadLabel1" Text="sample text">
</telerik:RadLabel>

Next, place a RadDatePicker control on the page.

<telerik:RadDatePicker RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadDatePicker1">
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Set the AssociatedControlID property of RadLabel to be the same as the ID of the RadDatePicker. After that when you click on the Label the DateInput will be focused.

<telerik:RadLabel runat="server" ID="RadLabel1" Text="sample text" AssociatedControlID="RadDatePicker1">
</telerik:RadLabel>

Optional If you prefer the label to be on a different line you can add a <br> element after the label.

<telerik:RadLabel runat="server" ID="RadLabel1" Text="sample text" AssociatedControlID="RadDatePicker1">
</telerik:RadLabel>
<br />

1. Optional In addition you can use an image instead of text for the label. To do this you should place an image inside the RadLabel tags.

<telerik:RadLabel runat="server" ID="RadLabel1" AssociatedControlID="RadDatePicker1">
    <img src="/images/myImage.png" alt="" />
</telerik:RadLabel>
<br />

1. The complete markup looks like below:

<telerik:RadLabel runat="server" ID="RadLabel1" AssociatedControlID="RadDatePicker1">
    <img src="/images/myImage.png" alt="" />
</telerik:RadLabel>
<br />
<telerik:RadDatePicker RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadDatePicker1"></telerik:RadDatePicker>
