Im a little confused, do you mean the length of the string?

Have you tried len(string)?

You really should have at least TRIED this on your own.
If you want the width of the string in a given font, you have to decide on a few other details about the font. (Size, bold? italic? etc)
You can use the measure string on a graphics object to tell you it's width.
I think some web-gui controls also have this ability, but I can't remember them offhand.

Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(new System.Drawing.Bitmap(1000,64));
g.MeasureString("my text", myfont, mymaxstringwidth);
