Measure the height of wrapped text

#1

I would like to measure the height of wrapped text (of specified font type
and size etc).

I know of the GetHeight method but how can I use it for a number of lines
even if the number of lines is known, I suspect that multiplying the number
of lines by the font height will not return the correct value

Thank you,
Samuel

Try using the System.Drawing.Graphics.measureString method
