Create string of repeated char

[Erick Sasse]

This is not really a C# question, but I'm not sure which is the best
group to post it. Please, point me to the right one.

What's the best way to create a string from a repeated char? For
instance, I pass char = "*" and size = 5, and get a string = "*****".

I could write a function to loop size times and append to a
StringBuilder, but maybe there is something ready in the framework.

Thanks.

One of the constructors for string takes a character and an int as parameters.
It does what you want.

String s;
s.PadRight(5, '*');
