Re: Equivalent of Tag on Label

Of course it depends on how you are using the attributes.
I was thinking along setting the values at runtime.
But now you mention "declarative", I wonder how you use them.

Do you look up the attribute value during the page request?
Do you loop your labels and based on their attributes do something?

If so it will work, of course, but, and I don't want to sound like a
purist, attributes aren't supposed to be used for that purpose. The
attributes are rendered on the client. I would rather not have
application specific values rendered on the client...

I would, if I really had no other option, derive a class from Label,
define a public property on it for that very purpose. Then I would be
able to specify its value declaratively and have strong relationship
with it in code, without possibly interfere with the attributes, or
future defined attributes.
