C# PadLeft Example Syntax | C-Sharp String Method | Source Code

Purpose: – Illustrates the for .




Step 1: Click on C# to Cut-n-paste code into clsPadLeft.cs

using System;
public class clsPadLeft
{
 
    public void Main()
    {
 
 
 
        //****************************************************************************************
        // Example #1: PadLeft(totalWidth [, paddingCharacter])
        // Returns a string that is right-aligned and padded on left with character specified.
        // If no padddingCharacter is specified, space is used. totalWidth is total width of column
        // This allows you to create a nice straight column even though lengths of text vary.
        //****************************************************************************************
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: PadLeft(totalWidth [, paddingCharacter]) ");
 
        string strPadLeftExampleA = "This is a test string";
        string strPadLeftExampleB = "short";
        string strPadLeftExampleC = "longer";
 
 
 
        // PadLeft "simple" before "test"
        Console.WriteLine(strPadLeftExampleA.PadLeft(35));
        Console.WriteLine(strPadLeftExampleB.PadLeft(35));
        Console.WriteLine(strPadLeftExampleC.PadLeft(35));
 
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
        //Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine();
 
    }
 
 
}

Step 2: Click on C# to Cut-n-paste code into Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
 
namespace CSharp_Syntax
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
 
 
            clsPadLeft myPadLeft = new clsPadLeft();
            myPadLeft.Main();
 
        }
    }
}

Prerequistes:

  1. Install C# (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

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
