Create a font using a type converter.

[NAlvar]

Hello,

I', attempting to convert a string description into a font and I'm successful except for updating the style.
I'm using a type converter, here is the code:

Dim tobj As Type = obj.GetType

Dim pi As PropertyInfo = tobj.GetProperty("Font")

Dim propvalue as string = "Tahoma;10"

Dim valueobject As Object = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(pi.PropertyType).ConvertFromString(propvalue)

With this propvalue, it works. The valueobject created is a font. But I can't define the style of the font, because if I assign the propvalue as follows:

Dim propvalue as string = "Tahoma;10;Bold"

an exception is throwed:

Run-time exception thrown : System.ArgumentException - Failed to parse Text("Tahoma;10;Bold") expected text in the format "name, size[units[, style]]".

Does anyone know what text should be into propvalue?

Thanks in advance.
