hello,
can someone please explain to me how i can get the Text property of the linklabel that i have created at runtime?
I have tried:
string str = e.Link.LinkData;
...but that just displays an empty messagebox.
Thanks lots :)

A:
EDIT: Now that we know the type of e, try:
string str = e.Link.Description;
If the LinkLabel.Link doesn't have enough information, you'll have to refer to the LinkLabel itself. That may be the sender of the event (as suggested by MusiGenesis) but if it's not, I suggest you use a lambda expression or anonymous method to subscribe to the event - that way you can capture the LinkLabel and refer to the Text property directly.

private void llabel_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e) { string str = e.Text; }Yes Mr Skeet, I have. But it comes up with a squiggly red line under 'Text' when I use the above code.

If you'd explained the type of `e` to start with, that would have helped. Editing...

I just tried this, and e.Link.Description returns a blank string.

It's possible that it was accepted due to the "capture" part of the answer. Hard to say.

Since you have a mysterious "e" in your code, I assume you're trying to do this in the LinkLabel's LinkClicked event. To do this, you need to cast "sender" as a LinkLabel, like so:
private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender,
LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
LinkLabel lnklbl = (LinkLabel)sender;
string str = lnklbl.Text;
}
