Hi,

I assume you are wanting the size of a pixel in georeferenced coordinates?
If so, use the GetGeoTransform() method on the GDALDataset. It fills in a
six parameter double array.  geotransform[1] is normally the width of a
pixel, and geotransform[5] is usually the height of a pixel negated.
If the image is rotated things are more complicated.

Best regards,
