Syntax

public string PadRight(
  int totalWidth
)

Parameters

String.PadRight(Int32) has the following parameters.

• totalWidth - The number of characters in the resulting string, equal to the number of original characters plus any additional padding characters.

Returns

//  w ww.  ja  va2 s  . com
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string str = "java2s.com";
    
    Console.Write("|");
    Console.Write(str.PadRight(15));
    Console.WriteLine("|");       
    
  }
}
