Though John Arlen's answer is perfect, I'd like to post my answer:

    private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    {
         // Set up string.
        string measureString = "HelloWorld";
        Font stringFont = new Font("Arial", 100, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);

        // Measure string.
        SizeF stringSize = new SizeF();
        stringSize = e.Graphics.MeasureString(measureString, stringFont);

        // Draw rectangle representing size of string.
        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red, 1), 10.0F, 10.0F, stringSize.Width, stringSize.Height);

        // Draw string to screen.
        e.Graphics.DrawString(measureString, stringFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(10, 10f + stringSize.Height / 12.0f));
    }

code result like that:

"HelloWorld" is centered vertically in the red box.

For the height of descender line is approximately equal 1/6 of stringSize.Height calculated by MeasureString
