In this instance, the control’s behavior differs in VS2002/2003 and VS2005, and the actual auto-size mode is determined by the RealAutoSizeMode property. In VS2002/2003, in Default mode the auto-size feature is disabled, and the RealAutoSizeMode property returns the LabelAutoSizeMode.None value. In VS2005, in Default mode the horizontal auto-size feature is enabled, and the RealAutoSizeMode property returns the LabelAutoSizeMode.Horizontal value.
