Now is the perfect time for you to switch to another development
platform. If you havnt learned VB.NET yet then consider my advice.
Visual Studio.NET is complete and utter garbage. It will enable you to
work at half the speed you used to. Consider any other dev platform -
forget MS. They shit on us by destroying our language.

I always used to use a hidden Label, set its Caption and read off its
Width. Maybe I still can ...

In the Brave New World,

System.Drawing. Graphics.Measur eString()

does the job; the "fun" part is finding a Graphics object that you can
use to do this ... ;-)

The examples around are either form-based, or involve being in the middle of actually printing a document. Sometimes you want to work out text lengths without printing. In our instance we are adding watermarks of Postscript files, from...
