You can draw text in a rectangle by passing a RectangleF object to the DrawString method. GDI + will wrap the text to fit the specified rectangle. For example:

Dim s As String = "This string will be wrapped in the output rectangle"
Dim rectf As New RectangleF(10, 100, 200, 200)
grf.DrawString(s, myFont, Brushes.Red, rectf)

Answer 2

If you provide a rectangle to overload the Graphics.DrawString method , it will wrap the text inside the rectangle.

Overloads Public Sub DrawString(String, Font, Brush, RectangleF)
