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?
