'C# Windows Form label font size

I am coding in C# using Visual Studio and I am new to windows forms. I have just set a label. I'm trying to change the text size of the label but I can't find an option anywhere. Can someone tell me where I can find the option in the designer? If I can't do it in the designer where do I put the code when using the default set up?

I have been looking for about an hour and it appears as though I should use something like:

YourLabel.Font = new Font("Arial", 24,FontStyle.Bold);

Although, when I have modified the code to suit my needs, it doesn't seem to affect the windows form.

Here I have included a screenshot of my project layout. ProjectLayout

Thanks!

Font size of a label can changed via properties window.

If you can not find the properties window, go to View > Properties window.

  • Highlight the label then go to properties box and Find the "Font" and expand it.

  • Under Font you can now find the "size" property.

  • Default font size size is 8.25 which you can change as per your requirements.

Open your form in design mode, then select label you want to customize and open Properties Window (you can open it by right clicking label and select properties / View > Properties Window / Ctrl+W, P) there you can see a property called Font expand it you will see other details too. Refer following image,
