.net cf 2 c# measure string height with maximum width

[mrpeter05]

I can not find a way to measure the height of a string by setting a
maximum width!
I need the strings maximum width to be the width of the screen and
want to use that to calculate the height. Is this possible?

C# is only used by really really really short people

you find something similar (you have to subclass Form):
Graphics grfx = CreateGraphics();
Sizef sizef;
float x, y =0;

sizef = grfx.MeasureString("YourStringHere", Font);
x = sizef.Width.
y = Font.Height.

I hope this helps,
Janos

sizef = grfx.MeasureString("YourStringHere", Font);
x = sizef.Width.
y = Font.Height.

what do I put after the "."? It always reports the same height!
