Question

I’m trying to add an array of labels to a panel in my Form.
I chose a label because I could set colors for the text.
If there is a better way, please let me know.

The code below runs fine but will only display one label.
I set a breakpoint and looked at the array before adding and all the
elements are there.

However, only one label actually shows up on the Panel.

Here’s the code.

        int y = 0;
        int index = 0;

        Label[] labels = new Label[10];

        //Add Spareboard Employees to Spare List
        foreach (Employee employee in EmployeeList)
        {
                labels[index] = new Label();

                labels[index].Text = employee.Name;

                labels[index].ForeColor = Color.Red;

                labels[index].Location = new Point(0, y);

                y = y + 10;
                ++index;
        }

        // Add the Label control to the form.
        SparePanel.Controls.AddRange(labels);

Thanks in advance

The default size of the label is too big and each label’s bottom is covering up the top of the label below it. You should add something like this:

labels[index].Size = new Size(50, 12);
