Question

I have an app written in C# for the compact framework (3.5).

I am trying to display some text on the form in bold.

The Label class does not give me the option to bold my text (I can make it bigger, which eventually gives a bold look, but I want my text 12pt and bold.

Is this possible? If so How?

thanks for any ideas.

Answer 1

You can do it designtime 😉

In visual studio you can extend the font property, to expose the name, font and style property.
Also you can add ; style=bold after the font property in visual studio. (or any style for that matter).

If you keep using the code above, i recommend disposing the old font, to prevent a memory leak
