Solution

  • You should use a version of Graphics.DrawString that allows you to specify a StringFormat. See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/21kdfbzs(v=vs.110).aspx

    The alignment of the StringFormat is what you need to specify:

    StringFormat drawFormat = new StringFormat();
drawFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far;

    The Rectangle argument you specify allows you to specify the area that the text is to be drawn in.
