I need some suggestions for a sans-serif font to use as a Heading/Label. I'm looking at small 11pt text, which is all uppercase and bold.

I'm writing my app using WPF on Windows XP and none of the fonts I've chosen so far look slick/smooth.

I've tried Gill Sans MT and Franklin Gothic Demi Cond so far.

For screen display "lucida grande" is a good choice (facebook use it on small text).
(But this is not available on iPad.)

Verdana (nominated by Scott Brown) is indeed very readable at small sizes, but a small percentage of computers don't have it installed. DejaVu Sans (see above) is a suitable fallback. My suggestion for a complete Verdana-like font stack is

Verdana, "DejaVu Sans", "Bitstream Vera Sans", "DejaVu LGC Sans", Geneva, sans-serif;

I give my reasons in "Three font stacks to match DejaVu / Bitstream Vera".

Verdana always looked pretty good to me when small, bold and uppercase.
