Label and Bitmap

Hello,

I hope that someone can help me. I am developing code with C# .NET to
display units which are on a Serial (RS232) Network.

For my display I have to use a bitmap of the item and on top of the bitmap I
have to display the device number. I thought about putting the device number
in a label over the bitmap but the label does not blend in with the bitmap.
Is there a way to make the label transparent so that the bitmap will show
through the label still displaying the device number?

Labels have an Image property. Why not use that?

I have Visual Basic .NET 2003, and wanted to create a form that only shows the contents of a label. The form can't have a title bar or border. It seriously needs to just be the text inside the label. Can this be done? Matthew

How on earth does one set the background property of a label to transparant, a la VB6? I have a label which overlays a picturebox, and I don't want the horrible grey background - I just want the text over the picturebox. The text dynamically moves around too. Effectivly, its a "You are Here" sort of thing, so I'm putting a red "X" in a label and moving it around.

I can find no logic to what is happening. I've built the following code from several examples on the web, if you remove the rotation then alignment works fine: Imports System.ComponentModel

So what I'm trying to do is print out a label so what I basically did is use Graphics.DrawString passing in the text of the label, the font of the label and the rectangle which represents the label (because it's set to autosize this should be the right...

Hi all I have a MDI Container Form, with one label control on the Background of this container form. When I now open a child form, this form is behind the label ... and this looks ugly ... :-)) When I set the label with "SendToBack", it completely disapears. I also tried to set the child form like "BringToFront" but this also does not help.
