Hi,

I am binding values to list box but stirng not showing in proper format.

ex my strings like

abc 10
abcd 20
asdfas 30

I made fixed length to first string that is 30 using pading

C#

str1.PadRight(30) + str2.PadRight(2)

abc 10
abcd 20

Is that Padding done before Binding?

Yes just before

can you show that code? Some lines before and after the Pad's

to.areeb 27-Jun-12 6:00am

sItem = strName.Trim.PadRight(30) & Space(3) & .StrCode.Trim.PadRight(3)

listbox1.items.add(sItem)

strName and StrCode coming from database

tried something like:

sItem = string.Format("{0} {1}", strName.PadRight(30), StrCode.PadRight(3));

if it still gives the same error it might be possiblethat the Items.Add() does a TRIM() in the background!

Solution 1

IF you want to digit below the other in same potion along x-axis then first calulate length of first string and using padding.padsding value derive by certain value - length of string
eg

str1.PadRight(30-str1.length)

I hope it will work
