Methods:

1. ToString:
   • Returns a string that represents the current object.
   • Example: string labelInfo = label1.ToString();

Example Usage:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace LabelExample
{
    public partial class MainForm : Form
    {
        public MainForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void MainForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Set properties during form load
            label1.Text = "Enter your name:";
            label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
            label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
            label1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold);
            label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 20);
            label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10);
        }
    }
}

In this example, the MainForm_Load event handler sets various properties of the label1 control during form initialization. You can customize the properties based on your specific requirements. Labels are often used in conjunction with other controls to provide information or guide users in a GUI application.
