'Label does not contain a definition for text'

I dont know why I'm unable to assign text to a label, if I'm using a textbox then it does it fine...

my xaml: 

<Label Name="TimerLabel"  Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="1" />

xaml.cs:

TimerLabel.Text = "sadssa";

https://i.sstatic.net/hpjY1.jpg

I have the right references I believe... I'm able to assign text to the label fine directly from the .xaml using Content="texthere" but I cant seem to assign text via the code. (Tried TimerLabel.Content = "asds"; but no result https://i.sstatic.net/m7UyU.jpg)

In my situation I'm using nop commerce so the @Html.LabelFor() needed to be replaced with @html.NopLabelFor()

I also had to add the following reference @using Nop.Web.Framework

This can happen if you have the incorrect dll referenced at the top of your .cs file. For example I had incorrectly referenced:

using System.Reflection.Emit;

When really I needed

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

Assign the Content property of the label. Or use TextBlock instead.

TextBlock is roughly the same as a Label from WinForms.

As per MSDN:

The TextBlock control is the primary element for displaying text in Silverlight based applications.

Provides a lightweight control for displaying small amounts of text...

You might want to consider a TextBlock depending on how your using it. Again per MSDN:

A Label control displays a caption, required field indicator, and validation error indicator to the user. It is typically used together with an input control, such as a TextBox. If you do not need to display required field or validation indicators, you can use the TextBlock control instead.

Label able to contain not only text, so use Content property instead.
