Re: Equivalent of Tag on Label

I WinForms Label control has a Tag property that can be used to store
metadata for the Label control.  An ASP.NET Label control does not have a
Tag property.  I was asking if there was any way of recreating the
functionality of the Tag property of a WinForms Label control but with an
ASP.NET Label control.

It seems there isn't, short of encoding the metadata into the Name property
of the Label control.  I specifically asked about the Label control trying
to avoid a custom, derived control.
