How to insert WML tag?

hi guys,

should be a simple question on vb.net.

i am trying to bold my welcome message like the following:

Code:

lblWelcome.Text = "Welcome"

using openwave phone stimulator, instead of displaying Welcome, it is displaying Welcome.

how do i get it to recognise wml tags?

many thanks.

If you want to bold your text just set the font property to bold
VB Code:
```
Me.lblWelcome.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))
```
You can set this in the form generated code, or just at form load

thanks a lot but i'm looking for a more specific solution because i need to find a way to insert line break as well. e.g. 

do you know how to do that?

As thing goes worse your tag doesn't mean nothing .. i assume you thought for ... :wave:

thanks but i'm not sure if i understand what you mean. are you saying that tags dont work for vb.net?

i am using vb.net to build a mobile application. wml tags still work if i code it this way:

Code:

Response.Write ("welcome kulrom")

but my purpose is to find out how to insert wml tags into objects like label and textbox.

Code:

lblWelcome.Text = "Welcome kulrom"

is this possible?

a line break is done like this
VB Code:
```
Label1.Text = "Line 1" & vbCrLf & "Line 2"
```
And that .font style is the only way in vb.net, i actually looked it up at the msdn. vb.net does not accept html markup. Good luck, i hope this helps

thanks digita, you have been helpful.

i tried vbcrlf and it gave me error instead, before i decided to seek help in here.

i guess i just have to live with response.write.
