Yes, you can. Be warned, it probably won't do what you think. The label
will only be transparent with respect to its parent control (its container).
Not with respect to other controls that might physically be underneath it
just because of the z-order.

I have a label on my ASP.NET form. It has a cssclass that includes a background color. I am dynamically putting text in this label. The text contains some embedded html (I want to display part of label contents as a list so it uses <ul> and <li>). The format of the string assigned to label text looks like this: "An error occurred:<ul><li>message 1</li><li>message2</li></ul>" The label renders in both browsers the same. Here's the...

I've been complaing about the VB2005 Help-Information (or rather the lack of it) before, but when I was looking how to set the backstyle of a label control to "Transparent" I found that the VB2005 documentation has reached an all-time low (please note the part about the z-order): MSDN: In Visual Basic 6.0, the BackStyle property of the Label control determines whether the label had a transparent background. Setting the BackStyle...

Hello, I am having a problem that I believe is related to the way a stream reader object looks for a text file by default. What I am doing is using a StreamReader object to read the text of a text file which includes some html code to populate html formatted content as the text of an asp:label (<asp:label>). The reading of the text file itself goes just fine ;however, this only occurs when I use an absolute file path which will not work of...

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.
