Hi
It is possible to make diagonal label or something similar with the same properties.
Thanks
Luis

It's not possible to rotate controls in WinForm applications. It can be done easily in WPF applications.
Since a label's main usage is to show text, you can custom draw the text in the label using the method I provided in my previous reply. It looks like the label is rotated. Alternatively, draw the text directly on the form.
Ifyou have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

By "diagonal label", do you mean a label with diagonal on it? If so, you can draw the diagonal on the label by yourself.
In detail, handle the Paint event of the label to draw lines on it. The following is a sample:
void label1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Red, new Point(0,0), new Point(this.label1.Width, this.label1.Height));
e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Green, new Point(0, this.label1.Height), new Point(this.label1.Width, 0));
}
Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,

The doubt i have is if is possible to turn a label in diagonal. I have some labels in horizontal and i would like to turn or rotate a label in diagonal. There is some text info in middle center.

Yes, it's possible to rotate the text in a Label. To do this, you need to apply a rotate transform on the graphics object of the Label control. The following is a sample:
void label1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(30);
e.Graphics.DrawString("hello",this.label1.Font,new SolidBrush(this.label1.ForeColor),new PointF(5,0));
}
Hope this helps.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
