Question

I have a Label object in my Silverlight 5.0 application, and I will need the label to autosize at runtime, either by getting larger or smaller.

My application presents a new number to a user with a set number of digits every few seconds, and at a certain interval, based on multiple factors as the application runs, I either add a digit or subtract a digit from the number length. I have done this easily in Windows forms, but I need to convert it to Silverlight, and the label control does not have an autosize property.

I have seen the number get as small as 3 digits, and as long as 10 digits.

What would be the best way to go about adding an autosize feature to the label in silverlight?

Try using an embedded TextBlock instead of a label.
