Hi,
I have created a Label dynamically the code is as below.

Label status = new Label();
status.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

and error is coming as below:-

'string' does not contain a definition for 'ForeColor' and no extension method 'ForeColor' accepting a first argument of type 'string' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

You need to set foreColor property to label control and not to its text.

The code you have posted can't generate the error you have pasted. If you have surmised or paraphrased your code then please post the actual code, and check the exact line the error is happening on.

same error:-
'string' does not contain a definition for 'ForeColor' and no extension method 'ForeColor' accepting a first argument of type 'string' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

in this sample "Status" is the Name of the used Label.
ForeColor is the Property of the Label - not the Text ...

status.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
but still getting same error.

Update your question to reflect the correct error message.

Do you get an error or is still nothing happen ?
Is your dynamicly created Label member of the Parent.Controls.Collection ?
I think, it is usefull, to see more than 2 code-lines from you (and to hear something more from you).
