Question

I\'d like to know if there\'s a better approach to this problem. I want to resize a label (vertically) to accomodate certain amount of text. My label has a fixed width (abou

In some cases where you must use compact framework, which does not have any override methods for MeasureString(), you might consider calculating the height by yourself.

private int YukseklikAyarla(string p, Font font, int maxWidth)
    {
        int iHeight = 0;
        using (Graphics g = CreateGraphics())
        {
            var sizes = g.MeasureString(p, font); // THE ONLY METHOD WE ARE ALLOWED TO USE
            iHeight = (int)Math.Round(sizes.Height);
            var multiplier = (int)Math.Round((double)sizes.Width) / maxWidth; // DIVIDING THE TEXT WIDTH TO SEE HOW MANY LINES IT CAN HAS
            if (multiplier > 0)
            {
                iHeight = (int)(iHeight * (multiplier + 1)); // WE ADD 1 HERE BECAUSE THE TEXT ALREADY HAS A LINE
            }
        }
        return iHeight;
    }
