I have the following code:
var font = new Font("Arial", 50);
var texto = "Meu texto";
var res = Graphics.MeasureString(texto, font); // Está linha não funciona.
When compiling the following error is generated:
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureString (string, System.Drawing.Font) '
What do I need to do to use MeasureString ?
Just create the following method:
private float GetWidthOfString(string str, Font font, int bitmapWidth, int bitmapHeight)
{
Bitmap objBitmap = default(Bitmap);
Graphics objGraphics = default(Graphics);
objBitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapWidth, bitmapHeight);
objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(objBitmap);
SizeF stringSize = objGraphics.MeasureString(str, font);
objBitmap.Dispose();
objGraphics.Dispose();
return stringSize.Width;
}

If your goal is to get a Size object with the size of your string , you can use the MeasureText method of the TextRenderer class in this way
var size = TextRenderer.MeasureText('Seu Texto Aqui', fonteDoTexto);
