Answer 1

Well as Sphax noticed you have to:

1. Set AutoSize to false
2. Set TextAlign to Right, for example to MiddleRight
3. Resize label to real size using MeasureString

Code:

label.AutoSize = false; 
label.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;    

int yourWidthHere = 100;    
using (Graphics g = label.CreateGraphics())    
{    
     SizeF size = g.MeasureString(text, label.Font, yourWidthHere);    
     label.Height = (int)Math.Ceiling(size.Height);    
     label.Text = text;    
}
