Thanks. Can i figure out the font-size for a string given the
measurements where it is supposed to go ? I have a rectangular area the
width and height of which is fixed. I need t fit some strings in to that
area.
 
Hello Karthik,

Check out the StringFormat class in GDI+ which can be used in DrawString
GDI+ function.

Regards,
Sujith.
