Add a label control which has the same look and feel as the rest of the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX components.
As a workaround you can style ASP:Labels with RadFormDecorator like that: 1) Set a particular CssClass for all the ASP:Labels on the page. It can also be set by iterating through controls on the server-side. 2) Use the RadFormDecorator CSS classes to create the desired styles for the particular skin. You can find an example below for the Metro and Glow skins: CSS: <style> .RadForm.RadForm_Metro .decorateLabel { background-color: #25a0da; color: #ffffff; } .RadForm.RadForm_Glow .decorateLabel { background-color: #ffa915; color: #ffffff; } </style> ASPX: <form id="form1" runat="server"> <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server"></telerik:RadScriptManager> <telerik:RadSkinManager ID="RadSkinManager1" runat="server" ShowChooser="true" Skin="Metro"></telerik:RadSkinManager> <telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" DecoratedControls="All" /> <br /> <br /> <asp:Label ID="Label1" Text="this is label 1" runat="server" CssClass="decorateLabel" /> <br /> <br /> <asp:Label ID="Label2" Text="this is label 2" runat="server" CssClass="decorateLabel" /> </form> The above code renders like that - http://screencast.com/t/ggyQk9jlZ
