Create and display label via code

I want to create a label and display it to the user, but I can not.

I have tried to copy the code for any label in InitializeComponent() ...

(I added a label to Form1 using the toolbox.)

partial class Form1
{
    private System.Windows.Forms.Label label1;

    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        this.label1.AutoSize = true;
        this.label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
        this.label1.Name = "label1";
        this.label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(35, 13);
        this.label1.TabIndex = 0;
        this.label1.Text = "label1";
    }
}

... and then to apply it to my label.

(I removed the label I added earlier.)

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private Label label;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        label = new Label();

        label.AutoSize = true;
        label.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
        label.Name = "label";
        label.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
        label.TabIndex = 0;
        label.Text = "Test";

        //label.Enabled = true;
        label.Visible = true;
        //label.Select();
        //label.Show();
    }
}

But it does not work. How to do ?

You need to add te label to add it to the forms' list of controls.

So, in your Form1() function, add the follwoing after the label is created:

this.Controls.Add(label);

You forgot vital part, i.e. add label to the form's ControlCollection:

this.Controls.Add(label);
