It works for me :
just use b tag around the text.

C#

Label1.Text = "Normal Text"
Label1.Text &= "<b>BOLD TEXT</b>"
Label1.Text &= "Normal Text"

Hope it works for you too.
[Edit-1]
It is not allowing me to write b tag. it changes in bold text you can see 'BOLD TEXT'.
[Edit-2]
Now it's showing correctly. Thanks Rohan for your help.

Good luck.

You should have told it in your question.
Frankly speaking it is not possible in win form. you have some options to do it in other way.
