Line spacing in the TextBox controls is fixed and you can't change it. If you need it try creating your own control and painting the contents yourself : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winforms/thread/b6311cca-2ac4-4e21-9b74-b4860a719615[^]

No. The TextBox control has no styling options, other than the font size - which applies to the whole text, and not part of it.
You can probably do it with a RichTextBox, by using the Windows API to send the control an EM_SETPARAFORMAT message - but I've never tried and I don't know how well it would work.

Probably, your best bet is to write your own control that supports it.
