image rendering with c#

[Spaceman007]

Hello all,

I need to render an image with text on it. this text needs to be align to
the right.
all works fine with the scipt on the end of the message, but I was no able
to align the text to the right.

I did not find a way to do this so far, did anyone have the same problem
already?

Thanks for input!

Spaceman007,

I don't believe that there is a way to do this that will make the text
automatically align for you. Rather, what you will have to do is call the
MeasureString method on the Graphics object, passing your text to the
method. Once you have the length of the string, you will have to align it
yourself, offsetting the text from the left border (but not moving it too
much) by whatever amount you think is right.

Hope this helps.

post </rant>

All you need to do is pass StringFormat object to Graphics.DrawString, with
Alignment set to StringAlignment.Far.

Jerry,

No one ever implied that MVPs are infallable.
