It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can set the location of the Label control in the windows forms programmatically with the help of given syntax:

public System.Drawing.Point Location { get; set; }

Here, the Point indicates the upper-left corner of the Label control relative to the upper-left corner of its form. Following steps are used to set the Location property of the Label:

• Step 1: Create a label using the Label() constructor is provided by the Label class.

  // Creating label using Label class
  Label mylab = new Label();
  

• Step 2: After creating Label, set the Location property of the Label provided by the Label class.

  // Set Location property of the label
  mylab.Location = new Point(222, 90);
  

• Step 3: And last add this Label control to form using Add() method.

  // Add this label to the form
  this.Controls.Add(mylab);
  

  Example: CSharp

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel;
  using System.Data;
  using System.Drawing;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  
  namespace WindowsFormsApp16 {
  
  public partial class Form1 : Form {
  
      public Form1()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
      }
  
      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          // Creating and setting the label
          Label mylab = new Label();
          mylab.Text = "GeeksforGeeks";
          mylab.Location = new Point(222, 90);
          mylab.AutoSize = true;
          mylab.Font = new Font("Calibri", 18);
          mylab.ForeColor = Color.Green;
  
          // Adding this control to the form
          this.Controls.Add(mylab);
      }
  }
  }
