I want fixed spacing between words in a string similar to what you have in a datagrid.
I tried:
string item = String.Format("{0,-9}{1,-42}{2,-24}{3,0}", ++i, itemName, itemQuantity, totalItemPrice.ToString("#,##0.00") + System.Environment.NewLine);
But since the itemName length is varaible itemQuantity and totalItemPrice do not maintain their positions and get pushed forward.
The string is subsequently assigned to a RichTextBox.
You can do like this:
I have just modified the way you have used the values and I can get the data displayed as data grid.
string itemName = "phone";
int itemQuantity = 5, totalItemPrice=50;
string item = String.Format("{0,-2}{1,-10}{2,-5}{3,-5}", ++i, itemName, itemQuant ity, totalItemPrice.ToString("#,##0.00")+System.Environment.NewLine);
