Width of a string

How can I measure the width of the string which I draw on a Graphics object?

This way .

Code:

---

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
                {                       
                        SizeF stringSize=new SizeF();
                        SizeF=e.Graphics.MeasureString("Your text here",stringSize,Myfont);

                }

I dont know if it would be helpful but: just remember that SizeF is in decimal format, so if you are rounding it or converting it to integer I would suggest using Math.Ceiling. I was using this in VB and was a few pixels short depending on the system font size and couldnt figure it out, until I found out that it was a rounding problem:D

can affect the result taken by MeasureString method .
