C# PadLeft Example Syntax | C-Sharp String Method | Source Code
C# PadLeft Example Syntax | C-Sharp String Method | Source Code
Purpose: – Illustrates the C# Syntax for PadLeft.
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(); } } } |

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
