Islam,

When you say 'Font.Italic', you are returning the boolean Italic
property from the Font property that is exposed.

Rather, what you want to do is:

textbox1.Font.Italic = true;

Hope this helps.

Font font = new Font(textBox1.Font, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold |
System.Drawing.FontStyle.Italic);
textBox1.Font = font;

Isn't the .Italic property on Font read-only?

Oops, that's wrong, the Bold property is read-only. See Tom's response
for the correct answer.
