Patrick,
Its just as well that you did hit send, because PadRight, PadLeft are not
the 'correct' answer (even if they might work). The correct answer is to
use one of the overloads of the string constructor. That is, type
string MyVar = New string(
and pick the appropriate constructor (i.e, the one that takes a char and an
int as parameters).
Since you're learning C# (as I am), I'll take the liberty of saying "Use
the appropriate constructor, dummy!" Us former VB types have to get used
to the concept of using constructors whenever creating a new object (both
from a client perspective, and from an object design perspective).
