Hi,
font measuring is not simple task and requires usage of Graphics.MeasureString().

I also need to calculate the size required to render a textbox. I know how to use Graphices.MeasureString, however I don't understand where this method can be called. Where can i get an instance of the Graphics class?

Best regards

You should create and maintain your own instance. I am not aware of Graphics instance that is available in reports.
