{
 
    public void Main()
    {
 
        //****************************************************************************************
        // Purpose: Returns a string that contains the specified number of spaces
        //
        // Syntax: 	new String(' ', number)
        //
        // Parameter1: number - Required - Integer representing number of spaces to return
        //
        // Result: string -  Returns a string that contains the specified number of spaces
        //
        // Quick Example:     string strField = "This";
        // Console.WriteLine("[" + strField.TrimStart(' ') + new String(' ', 5) + "]"); //Returns [This     ] with leading spaces removed
        //
        //****************************************************************************************

        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: Space(number) ");
 
        string strField = "This";
 
        Console.WriteLine("[" + strField.TrimStart(' ') + new String(' ', 5) + "]"); //Returns [This ] with leading spaces removed
 
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
 
 
        //Prevent console from closing before you press enter

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Program.cs
