How can i make text printed to a label bold, italics or underlined?

Dim enteredtext AS STRING = mytextbox.text

mylabel.content = enteredtext

How can i make the entered text that a user enters in a textbox be printed to a label as either bold italic or underlined. These three options shall be enabled with a radio button.

As above if you are only doing this sometimes and wish to do it in the code behind you can use mylabel.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic or if the label always needs to be bold you can look at Font section in the properties tab and choose colur, size, bold, italics, underline, strikeout etc from there.

You can refer the below code.

 <Grid>
    <StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <RadioButton x:Name="rdBold" Checked="RadioButton_Checked" Content="Bold" GroupName="format"/>
            <RadioButton x:Name="rdItalics" Checked="rdItalics_Checked" Content="Italics" GroupName="format"/>
            <RadioButton x:Name="rdUnderline" Checked="rdUnderline_Checked" Content="Underline" GroupName="format"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <TextBox x:Name="txtBx" Width="200" Height="20"/>
        <TextBlock x:Name="txtBlk" Text="{Binding ElementName=txtBx,Path=Text}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>
Class MainWindow 

Private Sub RadioButton_Checked(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    txtBlk.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold
    txtBlk.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal
    txtBlk.TextDecorations = Nothing

End Sub

Private Sub rdItalics_Checked(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    txtBlk.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal
    txtBlk.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic
    txtBlk.TextDecorations = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub rdUnderline_Checked(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    txtBlk.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal
    txtBlk.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal
    txtBlk.TextDecorations = TextDecorations.Underline
End Sub

End Class

You can set the font style for them. e.g.:

mylabel.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic
