Look up the MeasureString method of the Graphics class. There are a lot of
examples in the Framework SDK documentation. That will give you a SizeF
object describing height and width of the string.

using the graphics lib won't work, as the measuring is done on the server,
which may not have the same font size, or screen resolution as the client.
this can only be accurately on the client.
