VB.NET Property 'Font' is 'ReadOnly' - Please Help!!

Patti

I am building an application using VB.NET 1.1 and I have an issue with
Font properties in my Radio Button Lists and Check Box Lists. My issue

is that the Font Names and Font Size for these controls have become
"Read Only" and I have no idea how they became read only. I didn't set

anything to read only and was able to change these fonts just last week

- so I must have messed something up. Below is a snippet of my HTML
code I used to assign the font properties and also my attempt in VB.NET

code:

HTML:
<asp:radiobutto nlist id="rblAuditTyp e" Width="100%" Runat="server"
AutoPostBack="F alse" Font-Size="XX-Small"
Font-Name="Tahoma"
RepeatDirection ="horizontal " RepeatColumns=" 3"
Font-Names="Arial"></asp:radiobutton list>

VB.NET
Me.rblAuditType .Font = New System.Drawing. Font("Tahoma", 8.0F,
System.Drawing. FontStyle.Bold)
'When I try the above code I recieve a compiler error message that says

Property 'Font' is 'ReadOnly'
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

to the control...

Thank you very much for responding! I have tried creating a font
object and assigned it to the control, but I continue to get the error
message that the "Property Font is Read Only." Perhaps you can see
what I'm doing wrong. I have tried three different methods below in my
page load.

First attempt:
Dim newfont As Font
newfont = New System.drawing. Font("Arial", 8)

rblQAType.Font = newfont

Second attempt:
Dim num As FontUnit

rblQAType.Font. Name = "arial"
rblQAType.Font. Size = num.Point(6)

Third attempt:
Dim MyFont As New Font("Arial", 6, FontStyle.Regul ar,
GraphicsUnit.Po int)

For Each Control As Control In Me.Controls
Try
rblQAType.Font = MyFont
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Next

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
