PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hello!

I am quite new to PDFSharp and I have a problem. I am trying to draw a multiline string with the XGraphics object in the same way as I do with ordinary Graphics object.

Printing this to printer using the Graphics works fine, the text in m_strText wraps within the rectangle:
RectangleF rectText = new RectangleF(500, 100, 200, 500);
ev.Graphics.DrawString(m_strText , m_Font, m_FontBrush, rectText);

While doing this with the XGraphics object, PDFSharp generates an error, stating "height must be 0":
XRect rectText = new XRect(500, 100, 200, 500);
gfx.DrawString(m_strText, m_Font, m_FontBrush, rectText);

If it is not possible to wrap text within a rectangle, is there any good desig pattern out there to solve that issue in PDFSharp?

Regards

Answering my own post, maybe it can help someone else .

A XTextFormatter object was the solution, found it in the "TextLayout" example C# project.

yup, that did it

anyway, I have now problem, that when I want to highlight some words in text I am putting together, I have to split it into pieces and add all bold text extra. Any idea on how that would be possible with some kind of formatting ?
like <b></b> in html ?

Use MigraDoc for high-level formatting features.

but thaen I need to do AddText, AddTextFormat, AddText, AddTextFormat all the time.
some simple markup would be pretty cool
