dotnet drawing api : How to change label font in vb.net?
I can't believe I am asking this but how the heck can we change the font of
a label now? It use to be so simple. Me.Label1.FontName = "Wingdings 3"
Do you mind showing me a piece of code that does it. As far as I know the
font property requires system.drawing.font not a simple text. My problem is that I can not figure out how to use system.drawing.font to change the font of a label.

Fonts are now a class.
You instantiate a new Font class specifiying the values you want. i.e. Me.Label1.Font = New Font("Wingdings 3",et al.)

you are thinking too VB6.
Fonts are an object, just like everything else in .NET MyLabel.Font = New Font("Wingdings",...)

Thanks. You are absolutely right. I am VB6 oriented and need to change my
way of thinking towards VB.NOT. By the way how come I could not find not even a single line of code regarding this in the help file? Am I using Help too VB6 too?

Sorry if i offended, wasnt my intention. The help for VS.NET is quite lacking, in my opinion. I
spent quite some time figuring this all out myself. If you give it a while, it will all make sense.
