sizeWithFont with MonoTouch

Question

What's the equivalent of sizeWithFont in MonoTouch. If there's no such method, is it possible to invoke it some other way?

All I want to do is resize the label based on the text...

The next update (MonoTouch 1.1) will have the methods available as UIView.StringSize (string str, UIFont font)

I have MonoTouch 5.0 and it is unavailable. Is there a different approach in MT 5? – Chuck Savage Jan 25 '12 at 01:33

It is available in MonoTouch 5.0 – miguel.de.icaza Jan 29 '12 at 15:42
In the current version this is actually the non-static `NSString.StringSize()` – Alex Wiese May 31 '13 at 05:24

To answer my own question... Use selectors to pimboke the objective-c methods:

Changing the accepted answer as this should still work, miguel.de.icaza's answer is a better fit – Jonas Stawski Dec 25 '09 at 15:36

The NSString StringSize method would work for a single line label.
