Private Sub ChangeFontWeight(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)

    If (btn5.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold) Then

        btn5.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal
        btn5.Content = "FontWeight"

    Else

        btn5.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold
        btn5.Content = "Control font weight changes from Normal to Bold."
    End If
End Sub
C#

    if (btn5.FontWeight == FontWeights.Bold)

        btn5.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal;
