What kind of Windows application? Your tag says [tag:asp.net], but that is more for Web applications. And you don't have the screenshots linked to properly. — Mr Lister, May 02 '12 at 07:51

No, you can not change the font size within a MessageBox. The MessageBox font size is defined by the user's operating system.

The only way you can do this, is by creating your own custom Message Box:

How To Make a Custom Message Box

To change the Windows Forms form font, just use the Form's Font Property:

public partial class MainForm : Form
{
    public MainForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(
                      "Microsoft Sans Serif",
                      24F,
                      System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular,
                      System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point,
                      ((byte)(0)));
    }
}

Replace "24F" with the desired font size.

Maybe by using the `Form.Font` property ? – Nicolas Repiquet May 02 '12 at 08:14
Hm. I believe the problem is that the OP wants different font sizes for different languages. – Mr Lister May 02 '12 at 09:39
@KrunalMevada No, that is a Windows system property. You can't chnge that from within a program. – Mr Lister May 02 '12 at 16:50
No, unless you customise the window completely, that is, draw everything in it yourself. See, for instance, [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42460/custom-titlebars-chrome-in-a-winforms-app). – Mr Lister May 04 '12 at 10:36
