I need to print a string in a message box in specific format for which i am using code similar to as shown below:
string text="";
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
{
a=..
b=..
c=..
text += String.Format("{0, -8} {1,-4} {2,8}", a, b, c);
}
MessageBox.Show(text);
So for following set of values:
XYZ,ABC,100
X,ABC,100
I get following output:
XYZ ABC 100
X ABC 100
So you can see the second line is not well formatted. Probably this is happening because i am printing this in MessageBox. The space a character and a 'space' takes is different. Any solution for this?
Try using a \t
to insert tabs between values.
