Take a look at the MeasureString method of the System.Drawing.Graphics
class - you give it a string and a font object, and it returns you a
size.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...emdrawinggraphicsclassmeasurestringtopic1.asp
 
you can only know the size on the server, you will have to render it on the
client, and use javascript to estimate the length (as the browser does not
expose and api for this).
