I believe you need to use this overload for MeasureString(string,font,int):

The width parameter specifies the maximum value of the width component of the returned SizeF structure (Width).

// Measure string (you'll need to instansiate your own graphics object, 
// since you wont have PaintEventArgs)
SizeF stringSize = new SizeF();
stringSize = e.Graphics.MeasureString(measureString, stringFont, stringWidth);
int cellHeight = stringSize.Height;
