Label jgj = new Label("12345", 1, 2);

            jgj.AutoSize = true;

            Debug.Print("case C-the width is " + jgj.Width.ToString());

            jgj.Text = "1234567890";

            Debug.Print("case D-the width is Now " + jgj.Width.ToString());


THIS GIVES AN EXCEPTION & EVEN IN THE DEBUGGER .WIDTH THROWS AN EXCEPTION---WHY

This is strange..a workaround? Why does it work?

            Label jgj = new Label("12345",fntCalibri32, 1, 2);

            Debug.Print("case C-the width is " + jgj.Width.ToString());

            jgj.AutoSize = true; 

            jgj.Text = "123456789012345";

            Debug.Print("case D-the width is " + jgj.Width.ToString());  // WIDTH UPDATE FAILS!!!

            jgj.Width = 0;   //NEEDED OR WIDTH CALC FAILS !!!

            jgj.AutoSize = true;   //Must be inclded here & occurr AFTER width=0, for width to recalc !!!



            Debug.Print("case E-the width is " + jgj.Width.ToString());  // WIDTH UPDATE WORKS!!
