How to set control attributes at runtime

I need to set a form's properties and included controls' properties at
runtime I have been unable to find out how to set properties at
runtime. For example: Me.Font = New Font(Me.Font, FontStyle.Bold). I
found this after much searching on the web. I am looking for something
that will tell me the syntax that goes on the right side of the "=".
And not just for the form, but buttons, etc.

Any references? Books? Web sites? microsoft.com? Code samples?

Any help appreciated.

That is VB.Net syntax; if you are using VB.Net or VB 200x then you need to
look for newsgroups with "dotnet" in the name. If you are using VB 6.0 or
earlier then this is the correct group but that syntax will not work because
VB and VB.Net are different languages. In VB you'd use
Me.Font.Bold = True ' newer style
or
Me.FontBold = True ' older style
