before I dig into the visual studio docs looking for info on this I decided
to post here to hopefully get pointed in the right direction and maybe save
some some.
I am playing around with creating console programs. I want to create my own
tools and utilities, not full blown applications. However, even my small
tools may have a lot of output. I want to find out how I can format my
output nicely. For example, using nicely aligned columns.
The only thing that came to mind was just queuing all my output into one
string and adding tabs, spaces, etc... as I build the string and then just
make one call to console.writeline.
However, before I did that I wanted to check the huge collection of tools
available via the .net framework (1.1 and/or 2.0) to see what more
specialized classes may exist for this. Do any? Or do I just focus on the
string manipulating classes and do what I mentioned previously?
any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at Console.WriteLine overloads. Ex:
Console.WriteLine("Blah : {0,-30} Testing: {1}", "boo", "bee");
HTH :)
