I need to Convert the following cryptFunction in VB to C#
This is the VB code :-
Private Function cryptEntry(s$) As String

    Dim k$, r$, i%

    k = "§$=)%;:-:*(""§%""§=("             

    r = Left$(s + String(15, Chr$(32)), 15)           

    For i = 1 To Len(r)

        Mid$(r, i, 1) = Chr$(Asc(Mid$(r, i, 1)) Xor Asc(Mid$(k, i, 1)))

    Next i

    cryptEntry = r

End Function


What I have tried:

This is what I tried in C#

private string cryptEntry(string s)
       {
           string k = "", r = "";
           k = "§$=)%;:-:*(""§%""§=(";
           string insideString = "", concatString = "", leftString = "";
           insideString = new String((char)32, 15);
           concatString = String.Concat(s, insideString);
           leftString = concatString.Substring(0, 15);
           r = leftString;
           for (int i = 1; i < r.Length; i++)
           {
               string rmid = r.Substring(i, 1);
               string kmid = k.Substring(i, 1);
               byte[] rmidascii = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(rmid);
               byte[] kmidascii = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(kmid);
              // rmid = (rmidascii != kmidascii);
            }
           return r;
       }


I don't know the equivalent XOR operator in C#. My guess it would be !=

That code is confusing, and it is not clear what you are trying to do. Please edit your question and show just the VB code first, then just the C# code, and explain what inputs you are using and what outputs it should produce.

Of course it displays nothing, you are creating a string with 15 spaces, what are you expecting it to display? :) The original code was adding the spaces after the "s" variable, but your code isn't.

Thank you.

Don't guess, read the documentation: C# operators - C# reference | Microsoft Docs[^].

Short And To The Point!
Try:
C#
string input = "Hello";
string output = $"{input,-15}";
