Where are you trying to do this? In a web situation, setting properties on controls only works if you're in the pre-render portion of a request handler. Hooking this up to, for example, an AJAX handler (pure JS), won't do anything.

Solution 1

Include a namespace
using System.Drawing;

and whenever you want to change the color write
label1.backcolor=color.red;

if want to change the color when the form loads then you can write the code in
public form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
label1.backcolor=color.red;
}
or
forms load event..
