or...

Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

Hope this helps.

Jakob,

I tried your code from the link you mentioned, and when I place the control
on a form it's back color reverts to Control. I'm looking to adjust the
opacity of a control so the background shows through to some extent, not
completely. Any ideas?
