I am using Visual studio 2013 and Mvc Framework. We are migrating the window desktop application to mvc web application.Right now i am searching the TextRenderer.MeasureText equivalent function for c# which i use in my project. Simple i want this convert function in mvc c#. Basically i searching Textrender.MeasureText Alternate option for this technology.
**
Private Sub DrawPointText(ByRef gr As Graphics, ByVal Color As Drawing.Color, ByRef Point As PointF, _
ByVal Corner As String, ByVal strOutput As String, Optional ByVal optFont As Font = Nothing, _
Optional ByVal intRotate As Integer = 0)
Dim fnt As New Font("New Times Roman", 12, FontStyle.Bold)
Dim strX As String
Dim TextPositionX As Double
Dim TextPositionY As Double
Dim TextShift As Size
Dim OrgPoint As VGS.PointD
Dim drawFormat As New System.Drawing.StringFormat
If Not optFont Is Nothing Then
fnt = optFont
End If
OrgPoint = RevertValue(Point)
strX = strOutput
TextShift = TextRenderer.MeasureText(strX, fnt)
Select Case Corner
Case "NE"
TextPositionX = Point.X
TextPositionY = Point.Y - TextShift.Height
Case "SE"
TextPositionX = Point.X
TextPositionY = Point.Y
Case "SW"
TextPositionX = Point.X - TextShift.Width
TextPositionY = Point.Y
Case "NW"
TextPositionX = Point.X - TextShift.Width
TextPositionY = Point.Y - TextShift.Height
Case Else
MessageBox.Show("Unknown Corner In DrawPointText")
End Select
If intRotate = 0 Then
gr.DrawString(strX, fnt, New SolidBrush(Color), TextPositionX, TextPositionY, drawFormat)
Else
drawFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical
gr.RotateTransform(intRotate)
If intRotate > 0 Then
gr.DrawString(strX, fnt, New SolidBrush(Color), TextPositionY, -1 * TextPositionX) ', drawFormat
Else
gr.DrawString(strX, fnt, New SolidBrush(Color), -1 * TextPositionY, TextPositionX) ', drawFormat
End If
gr.RotateTransform(-1 * intRotate)
End If
End Sub

The text size is dependent on many different factors, like the font size, zooming factor, the font itself and so on.
You don't even know if the font you are using is installed on the client.
So, as Stephen already said, this is impossible on the server, because there are many factors that affect the text size the server can't control.
By converting a desktop application to an mvc application, the equivalent for this part (GUI) would be an implementation in JavaScript.
In JavaScript you can measure the text size.
