That's because that method only returns the size of the font for the textbox, you cannot set it that way.

To change the font size, you need to create a new font object and then assign it to the Font property. For example:

Dim newFont as New Font("Tahoma", 18, FontStyle.Bold)
TextBox1.Font = newFont
