C# Resize textbox to fit content

Question

I\'m writing a program where the user should be able to write text in a textbox. I\'d like the textbox to resize itself, so it fit the content. I\'ve tried the following:

I am adding this answer as I do not see the fixed width aspect of a textbox being discussed in any of the other. If you have a fixed width for your textbox, and you want to adjust only its height you can do something like the following:

Something like this gives the height of the text as how it is drawn in the multiline wordwrapped textbox itself:

SizeF MessageSize = MyTextBoxControl.CreateGraphics()
                                .MeasureString(MyTextBoxControl.Text,
                                                MyTextBoxControl.Font,
                                                MyTextBoxControl.Width, 
                                                new StringFormat(0));

I am not sure what StringFormat should be but the values StringFormatFlags do not seem to apply to a default TextBox make up.

Now with MessageSize.Height you know the height of the text in the textbox.
