Try this sample way

a.Name.ToString().PadLeft(10," ")
  • Must use ToString()

Edit Try this

a.Name.PadLeft(10,' ')

will this work?

string constructor that constructs a string from a character a repeat count:

var lst = Article.Select(a => new {a.ID, Name = new string(' ', 8) + a.Name})
                 .ToList();

UPDATE 1

set property, HtmlEncode=False

<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HtmlEncode="False" />

and enclosed the value with <pre> tag

var lst = Article.Select(a => new {a.ID, Name = "<pre>      </pre>" + a.Name})
                 .ToList();

I am assuming the gv is an asp.net gridview control and that all your whitespace is being merged when displayed in a browser.

So, try something like this

<asp:BoundField DataField="Name">
<ItemStyle CssClass="NameCol" />
</asp:BoundField>

and in your css

..NameCol
{
padding-left:50px;
}
