Rather than the nonsense of Color.Transparent, might I humbly suggest you set the label's background to the same color as its container (the form, most likely)? Say, SystemColors.Control?

Do you want to make the label (except for the text) transparent? Windows Forms (I assume WinForms - is this true) doesn't really support transparency. The easiest way, sometimes, is Label's Backcolor to Transparent.

label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

You will run into problems though, as WinForms really doesn't properly support transparency. Otherwise, see here:

http://www.doogal.co.uk/transparent.php

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/transparent_controls_net.aspx

http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet216425.html

Setting the parent of a usercontrol prevents it from being transparent

Good luck!

Setting to "Transparent" doesn't work if the label overlaps something. (I wanted transparency because of overlap and just tried this. It didn't work.)

You have to set the label's Parent property to the object you're overlapping. At least if that object is a PictureBox; not sure about other controls. Try it and see.
