Question

I am adding labels dynamically to a page, there are a few labels that have to be marked as required . Below is the code

 Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<td>"));
        if (required)
        {
            Mynewlabel.Text = lblname + " *";
            Mynewlabel.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
        ControlsPanel.Controls.Add(Mynewlabel);
        ControlsPanel.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td>"));

Setting Mynewlabel.BackColor makes the complete label back color as red , rather I just want the * sign to be in Red …I am not sure if it is do-able.

Please provide your inputs.

CSS:

.required
{
   color:red;
}

Code:

Panel1.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<td>"));
if (required)
{
    Mynewlabel.Text = lblname;
    Label lblRequired = new Label();
    lblRequired.Text = "*";
    lblRequired.CssClass= "required";
}
ControlsPanel.Controls.Add(Mynewlabel);
ControlsPanel.Controls.Add(lblRequired);
ControlsPanel.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td>"));
