How can I format/markup text added to a TextBox?

e.g. how do I make this text bold:

textBox1.Text += "<b>Executable path of application</b>: " +
Application.ExecutablePath + "'\r\n";

Or how does one markup programatically in WinForms as in WebForms, if I am
creating reports with an unknown length that I want to have formatted nicely
and have the user be able to scroll (e.g. not a Label)?

Thanks,

Have you looked at using a RichTextBox? Works well for this sort of
thing. You can do formatting and there's even a nice SaveFile() method.

This should do the trick for your example:

richTextBox1.SelectionFont =3D new Font(richTextBox1.Font,
FontStyle.Bold);
richTextBox1.AppendText("Executable path of application");
richTextBox1.AppendText(": " + Application.ExecutablePath + "'\r\n");
