Changing font in C#?

I am using this code to make all my textboxes the same font:

          if (textBox1.Font.Underline)
        {
            foreach (Control y in this.Controls)
            {
                if (y is TextBox)
                {
                    ((TextBox)(y)).Font = new Font(((TextBox)(y)).Font, FontStyle.Regular);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            foreach (Control y in this.Controls)
            {
                if (y is TextBox)
                {
                    ((TextBox)(y)).Font = new Font(((TextBox)(y)).Font, FontStyle.Underline);
                }
            }

Lets say i click the bold button. The text will turn Bold. When i click the underline button, the text should be Bold and underlined, but it is only underlined??? WHY?

FontStyle is an enumeration you can Or them together to add or Xor to remove.

i.e.

to add underlining to existing style:

textBox1.Font = new Font(textBox1.Font, textBox1.Font.Style | FontStyle.Underline);

to remove underlining from style:

textBox1.Font = new Font(textBox1.Font, textBox1.Font.Style ^ FontStyle.Underline);

and you can check for which Enumerations are in the Font.Style by doing this.

if ((textBox1.Font.Style.HasFlag(FontStyle.Underline)))
{
    textBox1.Font = new Font(textBox1.Font, textBox1.Font.Style ^ FontStyle.Underline);
}
else
{
    textBox1.Font = new Font(textBox1.Font, textBox1.Font.Style | FontStyle.Underline);
}

you can try using something like this 

  List<Control> controls = Controls.OfType<TextBox>().Cast<Control>().ToList();
  foreach (Control m in controls)
  {
      if (m.Font.Bold)
      {
          m.Font = new Font(m.Font, FontStyle.Underline);
      }
      else
      {
           m.Font = new Font(m.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
           m.Font = new Font(m.Font, FontStyle.Underline);
      }

  }

Instead of

((TextBox)(y)).Font = new Font(((TextBox)(y)).Font, FontStyle.Underline);

use

((TextBox)(y)).Font = new Font(((TextBox)(y)).Font.FontFamily, ((TextBox)(y)).Font.Size, FontStyle.Underline);
