Hi !

For C#/Windows Application : you cannot format text in a textbox (i.e. make it bold, italic, underlined, etc.). Better use RichTextBox for that purpose

For WPF : I'm not really sure but I would do that in a stylesheet (css)

Stylesheet (css) has nothing to do with WPF.
You would use a RichTextBox in WPF as well.

You can use the RTB control in WPF.

You can change the formatting of runs in code as in this example[^]. You will have to compose paragraphs from "runs" and add them to the text box. Alternately, you could select pieces of text and apply formatting (see here for more[^]).

Cheers.
