In the docs for String.Format there is an alignment component which
allows you to pad the field to a certain number of spaces.
e.g.
FormatFName = String.Format(" First Name = |{0,10}|", myFName);
Pads myFName, width of 10 minimum
I am used to printf which allows a '*' to be used to specify a
variable to be used at runtime to specify the width of the column.
e.g.
printf("%*s", iColWidth, myFName);
Pads myFName, width of iColWidth minimum
Am I missing something or did we lose that power in C#? I would hate
to have to build my format string at runtime just to do this. 2 8201 ts******@gmail. com wrote:

As far as I know, that's the only way. Ex:
string myFName = "tom";
int iColWidth = 10;
string FormatFName = string.Format(s tring.Format("F irst Name =
|{{0,{0}}}|", iColWidth), myFName);

Thanks, that is exactly what I ended up doing - ugly code though. I
am surprised .NET lost functionality however - it would have been easy
to add this. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hello,
Is there a way to format the data when it is passed into the Crystal
Report(CR).. for example.. In the original table, a number may be
left aligned, how to change it to right alignment?.. in other words I
want to change it's Format: Horizontal Alignment
from Left To Right if the
data passed in is an Integer, Currency, or
DateTime.

Hi everyone
I have a question regarding string format. If I want to write a set of
numeric values from arrays to a text file with the "right alignment" format
as below, can it be done? Basically, I want to format a number from an array
to a fix length. I want to line up digits of numbers in a column with
respect to their position. For instant, in Col1 which contains all integers
they should align to the right and in Col2 all number...

Any known fixes for the wacky right-alignment bug in the WinForms datagrid
(VS2003)?
I've tried Ken's workaround
(http://www.windowsformsdatagridhelp.com/default.aspx?ID=4bfab32d-9cff-4f5c-ba95-49bb9074a8bc),
but I get no alignment at all when calling the class.
George Shephard's site, while imminently useful, does not have an anwer for
this issue.

Hi
Does anyone know (or point me where I can find) how to set the alignment of
a DataGrid Column Header different to the alignment of the column.
I am trying to show some Right aligned columns and the header looks wrong
squashed to the right. If I could even add a trailing space but it trims any
trailing spaces off.
Thanks

A lot of low level cryptographic code and some hardware cryptographic

it can do is to detect if these aligmments are correct and act...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
