Hello All:

I have a simple question: how do I concatenate spaces to a string? Say I
have "John Doe" as my string and I want "John Doe " with 15
spaces following his name. How do I do this?

In old VB6, I would use the Space function. What is available in .NET?. I
am trying to avoid using carry over functions, since I want to learn the
framework as well as possible.

TIA,

Take a look at PadLeft, PadRight

example:

dim x as string
x = "test"
x.padleft(15," ")
