It tells label, where focus should go once the label is clicked.

Please see below example. If you click on "Enter First Name" label, focus will go to FirstName textbox.
If you click on "Enter Last Name" label, focus will go to LastName textbox.

Please try this
```
<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Label ID="lblFirstName" runat="server" Text="Enter First Name" AssociatedControlID="txtFirstName" />
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server" />

        <asp:Label ID="lblLastName" runat="server" Text="Enter Last Name" AssociatedControlID="txtLastName" />
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtLastName" runat="server" />
    </div>
</form>
```

I also would like to mention how above server code will be rendered as HTML. please see below.

Please observe the HTML attribute "for"
```
<label for="txtFirstName" id="lblFirstName">Enter First Name</label>
    <input name="txtFirstName" type="text" id="txtFirstName" />
```
```
    <label for="txtLastName" id="lblLastName">Enter Last Name</label>
    <input name="txtLastName" type="text" id="txtLastName" />
```
Please Mark as Answer, if it answers you, also correct me if I'm wrong.
