Move a control from a method in Windows Form

High level question, is it possible to move a control from a method? Example, I have a label and a button click event, can the label move from one position (X,Y) to another from the button click to something like (X+20,Y+20)?

I haven't had any luck with changing the .Position property of the label, and I couldn't find anything online so I thought I would ask. Thanks!

EDIT: Was asked to show some code so here ya go. The label1.Position can't be selected/edited, and label1.Move is an event handler, for when the user moves the label?

private void MoveTextButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        label1.Position = (x,y);
        //label1.Move
    }

Just change Location like :

   private void MoveTextButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       label1.Location = new Point(label1.Location.X + 20, label1.Location.Y + 20);
   }
