Center Label on Page

Newbie trying to learn.

I have a simple label and I want to center this on the page, but I can not.
When I hightlight this in VS2005 and say to center it, it does nothing. How
do I hard code this to center on a pager?

<asp:Label ID="HeadingL" runat="server" Font-Size="XX-Large" Text="Summary"
ForeColor="DarkBlue"></asp:Label><br />

You shouldn't use the old <center> tag these days, as it is not
XHTML-compliant:
