newbie - resize a label at runtime

Hi everyone,
I know this is a simple question, but I can't figure this out. I have a web
form with label on it, I would like the length of the label to go from the
left edge of the browser window to the right edge of the browser window. I
am using VS 2003 framework 1.1. Everything looks fine when I browse the sit
e
inside the IDE, but when I open the website in IE the right edge of the labe
l
stops half way across the page.
I know I can set this in the page load event, but I am not sure how to
determine what the value shuold be?
ThanksUse css to control the width of the label

Newbie combo question

Hi - I've loaded the values into a combo box at runtime, but can't see how I
set the combo to a certain value when the page loads. (The value will change
depending on other variables when the page loads.)
Thanks
NickArrest me if I'm wrong, but from what I know there is no ComboBox available
in ASP.NET
Are you using a Custom Control?

If you are using .NET Framework 1.1 then you can use:
myDropDownList.SelectedValue
In .NET Framework 1.0 you can use SelectedIndex and then do a search for
your value, like this:
myDropDownList.SelectedIndex =
myDropDownList.Items.IndexOf(myDropDownList.Items.FindByValue(myValue))
or
myDropDownList.SelectedIndex =
myDropDownList.Items.IndexOf(myDropDownList.Items.FindByText(myText))
Hope this helps,
Shawn
