How to: Draw Wrapped Text in a Rectangle
You can draw wrapped text in a rectangle by using the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A overloaded method of the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics class that takes a xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle or xref:System.Drawing.RectangleF parameter. You will also use a xref:System.Drawing.Brush and a xref:System.Drawing.Font.
You can also draw wrapped text in a rectangle by using the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A overloaded method of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer that takes a xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle and a xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags parameter. You will also use a xref:System.Drawing.Color and a xref:System.Drawing.Font.
