That doesn't work because the Font.Size property is readonly. Try this instead: lbl.Font = new Font(lbl.Font.FontFamily number);

@Vulpes is correct. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { FontDialog fontDialog1 = new FontDialog(); if (fontDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.Cancel) { label1.Font = fontDialog1.Font; } } } }

You need to set the label's Font property: FontDialog myFontDialog = new FontDialog(); if(myFontDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { myLabel.Font = myFontDialog.Font; }
