Remember that labels don't receive focus. When you set the focus to a label it either passes to an associated control (webforms) or the next control in the TabIndex order (winforms).

As per MSDN documentation, you can't.

You can put the focus on the following types of controls:

Button, LinkButton, and ImageButton controls

CheckBox control

DropDownList control

FileUpload control

HyperLink control

ListBox control

RadioButton control

TextBox control
