Use the RectangleF overload: Graphics.DrawString Method (String, Font, Brush, RectangleF) (System.Drawing)[^] - it will wrap text so that it remains in the rectangle you supply.

BTW: Do yourself a favour, and stop using Visual Studio default names for everything - you may remember that "TextBox8" is the mobile number today, but when you have to modify it in three weeks time, will you then? Use descriptive names - "tbMobileNo" for example - and your code becomes easier to read, more self documenting, easier to maintain - and surprisingly quicker to code because Intellisense can get to to "tbMobile" in three keystrokes, where "TextBox8" takes thinking about and 8 keystrokes...

Use the String class and split it in the way you want, something like:

C#

string maintext = TextBox.Text;
int length = maintext.length;
for (int i = 0; i < maintext.length; i += 7)
{
    int sslength = 7;
    if (sslength > length)
        sslength = length;    // last section less than 7 characters
    string str = maintext.Substring(i, sslength);
// write the contents of str
    length -= 7;
}
