Can you have different color text is a standard TextBox?

I know you can in a RichText box but what about the TextBox.

Same with bolding - can you bold one line of text in the text box and then
unbold the next line?

Thanks,

Tom

No, the Windows Forms textbox control doesn't support that (except in WPF).
 
Contrary to the other replies, yes you can.

myTextBox.ForeColor = ...

Bolding is an other issue. :(

Hope this helps,

Re-read the OP's post. You cannot change the color of a certain line in the
textbox.

The font can be changed by assigning a new font to the control's 'Font'
property. Specify 'FontStyle.Bold' to use a bold font.
