Possible Duplicate:
Enter “&” symbol into a text Label in Windows Forms?

On a screen with label controls bound to user-filled properties, I’m getting underlined characters (mnemonics) on the label because the underlying data contains ampersands.

For example, if the bound property contains “A&B Trucking”, then the label shows as “AB Trucking” with the B underlined. Alt-B on the keyboard would focus that label.

How do you prevent this from happening with bound controls?

    You can prevent this by either doubling up on the ampersands (&& will display correctly as &), or you can set the UseMnemonic property of the label to false which is probably the best solution in your case
