Sets general options for the Label design-time control.

Options

Name

Type a name for the Label control. The name is required and must be unique to the page. Sets the id property for the control.

Scripting Platform

Displays the platform (Server or Client) of the recordset selected for this control, or allows you to select a platform or use the page's default platform setting (Inherit from page) if you haven't selected a recordset. Sets the DTCScriptingPlatform property for the control.

After you set a recordset, the Scripting Platform property is read-only for the control. To change the platform, select a different recordset.

Note   If the control is on an HTML page (as opposed to an ASP page), the Server (ASP) selection is not available.

Recordset

Choose the name of a Recordset design-time control on the page. Select the recordset with the data connection to the database you want to for the Label control. Sets the Recordset property for the control.

Field/Expression

Choose the name of the field whose data you want to display in the label, or enter an expression whose result you want to display in the label. Sets the DataField property for the control.
