C# – Calculate the display width of a string in C#

cnet

A Java version of this question was just answered, and, well, I don't know how to do this in .net.

So how do you calculate the display width of a string in C# / .net?

An alternative for Windows Forms is the static TextRenderer.MeasureText method.

Although restricted to integer sizes, this (in tandem with TextRenderer.DrawText) renders more accurate and much higher quality ClearType text than the Graphics.MeasureString/DrawString duo.
