Not sure that I correctly understand you... Do you want to calculate the
height of the wrapped text? Then this may help:

If you just want to caculate the size, I mean width and height of the
specific string then use MeasureString:

using(Graphics gr = this.CreateGraphics())
{
SizeF sf = gr.MeasureString();
}
