Adding a fixed number of spaces to the end of a variable length string

I have a string say message, whose length is not variable. But whatever the length is, I have to add 35 spaces to it before starting another method.

Suggestions Please?

Thanks!

Ex - String = "abc" , should become "abc" + 35 spaces;

No matter what the string is, I need to "Append" 35 spaces to the end of the string.

This should do the trick:

message = message.PadRight(message.Length + 35, ' ');

In order to pad a string in C# and VB.net, can use the PadRight method of the String object:

It has two overloads:

String.PadRight(Int32 NumOfChars)
String.PadRight(Int32 NumOfChars, char Char)

F.ex:

string myString = "abc".PadRight(numOfChars, charToPadWith);

or

myString = myString.PadRight(numOfChars, charToPadWith);
