How to change font, size and style of a label programatically

[Guest]

I am trying to change a lables font at runtime.

When I sent the labels font to New Font ("Andy",16,2) it wont allow be to
set the style(2)
If I remove the style it errors because the font does not support the style
regular.

This has to be easy....What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You probably need to specify an enumeration value and not a number.

lable.Font = new Font("Andy", 16f, FontStyle.Bold);

Hello,
I think you want to do this:
label1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial",16.0f, (FontStyle)2);

HTH. Cheers

I think you want to do this:
label1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial",16.0f, (FontStyle)2);

'(FontStyle)2' => 'FontStyle.Italic'.
