I am using C# to do some graphics development.  I have to output a small
graphic to a canvas and center a string under it.  In the windows API world
I would get the extent of the text (I think it was called GetTextExtent or
something similar, I'd have to look it up.)  I would use the resultant width
and height to help me center the text output.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this with .Net graphics
objects.

Can anyone tell me how or direct me to a resource to guide me?

Thanks!
