    You "cannot" make bold a part of text for textbox, but you can make the entire text bold in textbox like this:

    TextBox1.Font = New Font(TextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

    But, in RichTextBox, it provides a SelectionFont property and you can perform a partial formatting like this:

    ' Make selected text bold programmatically:

    RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

    ...by instantiating and assigning a new font object with FontStyle.Bold argument.

    HTH.
