public:
   int GetPrefHeight( Graphics^ g, String^ val )
   {
      return this->GetPreferredHeight( g, val );
   }

};

public ref class Form1: public Form
{
protected:
   DataGrid^ dataGrid1;

private:
   void GetPreferredHeight()
   {
      Graphics^ g;
      g = this->CreateGraphics();
      int gridPreferredHeight;
      MyGridColumn^ myTextColumn;
      
      // Assuming column 1 of a DataGrid control is a 
      // DataGridTextBoxColumn.
      myTextColumn = dynamic_cast<MyGridColumn^>(dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ]->GridColumnStyles[ 1 ]);
      String^ myVal;
      myVal = "A long string value";
      gridPreferredHeight = myTextColumn->GetPrefHeight( g, myVal );
      Console::WriteLine( gridPreferredHeight );
   }

};

public class Form1: Form
{
 protected DataGrid dataGrid1;

private void GetPreferredHeight(){
   Graphics g;
   g = this.CreateGraphics();
   int gridPreferredHeight;
   MyGridColumn myTextColumn;

    // DataGridTextBoxColumn.
   myTextColumn = (MyGridColumn)
   dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[1];
   string myVal;
   myVal = "A long string value";
   gridPreferredHeight= myTextColumn.GetPrefHeight(g, myVal);
   Console.WriteLine(gridPreferredHeight);
   }
