You can't do it in a single label - you have to use two.
Labels (and many other controls) do not support any rich text features - any formatting applies to the whole control.
However, you could do it by inheriting from Label and handling paint yourself.

How does displaying "My Name Is < b >Raj< / b >" in a label control make the text bold?

Solution 4

You can use div control insteadof label control

XML

<div runat="server" id="div">My Name Is <b>Raj</b></div>
