C#, Size of Text

[Mathieu Chavoutier]

Hi.

I want to center text of labels, but don't know how to do it.

I have try to do a :
distX = netUseGroupBox.ClientSize.Width / 4 - mailLabel.Text.Length * 8 / 2;

But it works only for one Label (not the others).

So, how is it possible to know the effective size of the text (size in
pixels) ?

Any reason not to set the TextAlign property on the label to
ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter?
