How to do Alignment within string.Format in C#

Align String with Spaces [C#]

This example shows how to align strings with spaces. The example formats text to table and writes it to console output.

To align string to the right or to the left use static method String.Format.

To align string to the left (spaces on the right), use negative number like below

String.Format("{0,–10}", text)

To align string to the right (spaces on the left), use postive number like below

String.Format("{0,10}", text)

Following example shows how to format text to the table. Values in the first and second column are aligned to the left and the third column is aligned to the right. 

Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------");
Console.WriteLine("First Name | Last Name  |   Age");
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------");
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-10} | {1,-10} | {2,5}", "Adam", "Gilchrist", 50));
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-10} | {1,-10} | {2,5}", "Alena", "Parker", 55));
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-10} | {1,-10} | {2,5}", "John", "Roy", 40));
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------");

Above console example will generate following output

 -------------------------------
 First Name | Last Name  |   Age
 -------------------------------
 Adam       | Gilchrist  |    50
 Alena      | Parker     |    55
 John       | Roy        |    40
 -------------------------------
