Associate a Label to TextBox in ASP.NET Web Forms

How to associate an asp:Label with a Text Box or other Form control?

In case we need to associate a text label with any control so that clicking on the text focus on the control (eg. TextBox), we can use this approach. 

ASPX Page

<p> 
 <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="txtFirstName" Text="First Name: " /> 
 <asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server" /> 
 </p>

AssociateControlID property of the Label control can be specified to the TextBox id that associates the Label to the TextBox. Clicking on the Label control focuses the TextBox.
