Padding a String

To pad a string to a certain length, we can use the PadLeft and PadRight methods of the String class.

String.PadLeft Method (Int32) 

String.PadLeft Method (Int32, Char)

String.PadRight Method (Int32)

String.PadRight Method (Int32, Char)

For example:

myString = “123”.PadLeft(6, “0”c)

will return “000123”.

Right-aligns the characters in this instance, padding on the left with a specified Unicode character for a specified total length.
