Change a font programmatically

Question

C# doesn't like the following code:

private void btnSizeRandom_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  btnSizeRandom.Font.Bold = true;
  btnother.Font.Bold = false;
}

Is there a way to do this programatically?

Answer 1

Instances of Font are immutable. You need to construct a new Font and assign it to the Font property. The Font class has various constructors for this purpose; they copy another instance and change the style in the process.
