[Year 12 SofDev] vb.net error

[ATKINSON-BUCK, Damien]

Hi folks,
            I’m just starting VB.Net with my year 11’s and have only ever used vb 6 before. The following code doesn’t make sense to me
I’m trying to just teach if else statements so using a couple of check boxes want the font in a textbox to change. In vb 6 you used to just say textbox1.fontbold=true and txtfontItalic = true not it seems totally different
[cid:image001.png at 01CB08B4.48A7C0C0]
    Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click
        Dim fnt As Font
        fnt = txtSomeWriting.Font
        If chkItalics.Checked = True And chkBold.Checked = True Then
            txtSomeWriting.Font = New Font(fnt.Name, 8, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic)
        ElseIf chkBold.Checked = True Then
            txtSomeWriting.Font = New Font(fnt.Name, 8, FontStyle.Bold)
        ElseIf chkItalics.Checked = True Then
            txtSomeWriting.Font = New Font(fnt.Name, 8, FontStyle.Italic)
        Else
            txtSomeWriting.Font = New Font(fnt.Name, 8, FontStyle.Regular)
        End If

    End Sub

I don’t get why it is only working if I have an OR between the 2 fontstyles, not an AND when I am trying to make the textbox Bold Italic

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Damien
