How do I keep a label centered in WinForms?

Question

In WinForms I am using a Label to display different messages like success, failure, etc.

I\'d like to center that label in the center form.

Answer 1

The accepted answer didn't work for me for two reasons:

1. I had BackColor set so setting AutoSize = false and Dock = Fill causes the background color to fill the whole form
2. I couldn't have AutoSize set to false anyway because my label text was dynamic

Instead, I simply used the form's width and the width of the label to calculate the left offset:

MyLabel.Left = (this.Width - MyLabel.Width) / 2;
