VB 2010 TextWidth

Hi, i'm just out of vb6 and i'm wondering how to do what previously in vb6 was TextWidth. This is an essential function for positioning strings so i need it a lot. I looked through all the things but i didn't find anything. Probably it's the same function under a different name, how is this done?

the graphics class has a measurestring method:

vb Code:

Dim gr As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics
Dim textSize As SizeF = gr.MeasureString("String", Me.Font)
MsgBox(textSize.Width)

Thanks for the help. I know that was probably so simple that you wrote the reply to me with your eyes shut but i'm still new enough to 2010 that i really appreciated it. Thanks a lot!
