Answer 1

I'd not recommend to do that in code, but if it is necessary:

textblock.FontStyle = Windows.UI.Text.FontStyle.Italic;
textblock.FontWeight = Windows.UI.Text.FontWeights.Bold;

Ceaseless

Sounds like that's what the OP tried (though they must have had a using statement for Windows.UI.Text). – Delanos

Sure, you are right. The code works, just double checked it. If the using statement is there we need more info/code. – Ceaseless

thanks I was doing this mistake textblock.FontStyle = new Windows.UI.Text.FontStyle.Italic; – Inlaid

Answer 2

Try:

FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold

class: System.Windows.FontWeight
