How to control the space between two labels during run time

Im using Visual Studio 2015 Community C#.
I have two labels on a Windows form suppose Label1 and Label2.
These labels will get filled up with user input namely first name and last name.
How to put even space between them so that during runtime the first name doesn't over lap the last name.
AbrahLincoln Abraham Lincoln
(Label1^)(^Label2) (^Label1) (^Label2)
For example: how to make this ^ INTO that >>>>>>>>>>>>^^
Because if I put space in the Form Design before runtime then for other names It will come like this: John(unnecessary space)Doe
Hope you have understood my problem.
Thanks for your time. :D

Controls are located in a form based on coordinates. Luckily for you these controls have properties that tell you the coordinate for the top, left, right, bottom of a control. So you could dynamically move the right label after setting the text.
Label2.Point = new Point(Label1.Right + 5, Y-coord);
An easier way would be to play about with the labels properties in the designer.

You could also try to anchor label1 to the right and label2 to the left. That way you should have a clean middle line, and as the text grows larger it pushes outwards on does not overlap inwards over each other.
However you need an object to anchor to and luckily the SplitContainer works excellent for this.
Also consider setting the autosize property to off and maxing the widths of the labels. Large enough for the string you expect.

Have you considered making it one label?
As in
theOnlyLabel.Text = $"{dataObject.FirstName} {dataObject.LastName}";
or, if you're using textboxes, something like
theOnlyLabel.Text = $"{txtFirstName.Text} {txtLastName.Text}";
Otherwise, I'm afraid, you'd have to realign these two labels every time your first or last name changes.

Sudoku Grid in Unity 5

I am new to Unity.
I am converting my Sudoku game written in WPF to Unity2D. I converted everything. However I cant achieve 9*9 grid with Buttons as I did in WPF.
In WPF I created 81 buttons with same event. So when it is called I jsut got their position displayed keyboard with only numbers that cell allowed.
Here is what I needed
Here is what I did.
1: I inserted canvas then tried vertical layout(for adding 3 rows) without success
2: Then I tried grid layout with canvas with fixable count column no success
3: grid layout with flexible option still no result.
I also tried via coding using GUI.BOX, and all still the result is not good.
How can I do it?

Do not use GridLayout, it is only for fixed size "icons" - irrelevant here, do not use.
First use VerticalLayoutGroup
include ..
Don't forget you must put a LayoutElement on each of your three items.
Get that working first.
Then, for your MIDDLE item, add a horizontal group and make that work.

XtrReports, xrPictureBox how to align Image to right ? Winform Devexpress

Am using Devexpress Winforms 12.2 version. I designed XtraReport with Logo on right side. When image is small automatically it align to left. I need to set pull right. Their is no option to set alignment in property. How to write programmatically code in BeforePrint event of xrPictureBox ?
I tried this one but didn't work xrPictureBox1.Image = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight; showing error cannot implicitly convert type ContentAlignment to Drawing.Image
Thanks in Advance.

You'd better search their support channel, there are several threads on this subject, like XTraReport - XRPictureBox alignment and XRPictureBox - Provide the capability to specify image alignment. From the last one looks like they finally provided out of the box solution XRPictureBox.ImageAlignment Property, but you need to upgrade to v15.1. If you can't, check if some of the suggested workarounds in the links work for you.

Creating a marquee lookalike in Windows Store Apps

im trying to create the equivalent of this(html)
<marquee behavior="alternate">Your bouncing text goes here</marquee>
in a Windows Store App, with C#
is there any control that can do this or do i have to create a custom one?

There are no Marquee controls in Windows Store Apps.
I have managed to find code doing something similar to what you are trying to do. Go take a look at WPF Marquee Text Animation. If you play around with that code you should be able to get the wanted result
The main difference with your Marquee is that once you reach the edge of the screen you want to go back the other way. Something as simple as getting the Width of your textblock and your grid and substracting them could give you the wanted result
One way to do it would be something like this :
Get the width difference of your controls
int TotalMargin = gridTest.Width - textblocktest.Width
You would then need to add continuously a value to your margin
if textblocktest.Margin.Left < TotalMargin {
textBlock.Margin = New Thickness(textblock.Margin.Left + aNumber,0,0,0)
}
else{
//Call a procedure doing the same thing but decrementing the margin until it is at 0 and then going back to adding margin
}

Vertically align text within a textbox when AutoSize=false

I'm trying to extend the standard TextBox control in the System.Windows.Forms namespace. One of the things I'm trying to accomplish is to modify padding on the top and bottom of the TextBox (the spacing between the text and the border).
Doing it on the left/right sides is pretty simple, but I'm having a hard time getting anything to work on the top/bottom.
Here are a couple of my requirements (if possible):
Avoid extending anything besides System.Windows.Forms.TextBox (no UserControls)
I want to keep MultiLine = false
This code allows me to resize vertically, and it adds a left padding:
public class TextBoxTest : TextBox
{
public TextBoxTest()
{
base.AutoSize = false;
NativeMethods.SendMessage(Handle, NativeMethods.EM_SETMARGINS, NativeMethods.EC_LEFTMARGIN, 20);
base.Height = 55;
base.Width = 150;
base.Text = "This is a test";
}
}
This will look like:
I also tried EM_SETRECT but it requires a MultiLine TextBox.
Is a top/bottom margin (or center vertically) possible - without using a UserControl and keeping MultiLine=false?
If so, can someone point me in the right direction?
UPDATE, to clarify, the reason I want to inherit from TextBox, and not a UserControl or Panel is so it passes the duck test (if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc). I want if (myControl is TextBox) ... to evaluate to true. There may be a way to do that, I haven't done much with Type Converters and maybe that's the path I should be taking.
I want this to be a true extension of a TextBox. In other words, it can do just about everything a textbox can do plus some, but no limitations due to the fact that it's not of type "TextBox". It seems like there's gotta be a way to adjust it somehow, it supports left and right margins but seemingly not upper/lower margins. Thanks again

You cannot change the padding property of Windows forms textbox from your code.
Instead you can place a textbox in a container, like a panel
remove the border of the textbox, make sure that the BackColor property for both is same
change the Dock property of the textbox to Fill
and then apply padding to the panel.
