Yes. One way to do it is to hook into the TextBox's LocationChanged event and set the Label's location to the correct spacing from the TextBox. This way each time the TextBox moves, the Label will too. Example:

C#

private void textBox1_LocationChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TextBox temp = (TextBox)sender;
    label1.Location = new Point(temp.Location.X, temp.Location.Y + 26);
}

yes you can do it by using Simple code.

C#

Point lp; 
private void textBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            lp = new Point(e.X, e.Y); // lp will store current X and Y cordinates of textbox
        }
        private void textBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left || e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            {
               // Code for Move textbox 
                this.textBox1.Left += e.Location.X - lp.X;
                this.textBox1.Top += e.Location.Y - lp.Y;
               // Code for move label
                this.label1.Left += e.Location.X - lp.X;
                this.label1.Top += e.Location.Y - lp.Y;
            }
        }

Now when you drag your textbox Label follow it and moves as textbox moves.

when textbox moves, another follows
