Hi I am having problems with using the padright function in ASP.NET. my code is

string listring;
string strTitle = ds.Tables["QueryT"].Rows["Title"].ToString().Trim();
if (strTitle.Length > 15)
{
strTitle = strTitle.Remove(0,(strTitle.Length - 15));
}
else
{
strTitle = strTitle.PadRight(15, System.Convert.ToChar(" "));
}

liststring = strCallNo + " " + strTitle + strOpenDate + strCountry + strNotes + strStatusListItem listItem = new ListItem(liststring,ds.Tables["QueryT"].Rows _["Call#"].ToString());

THe thing is this code works if i place a "*" instead of a space but when u use a space it doesnt appear as desired in the listbox yet i check the string before being inserted into the listbox and it is padded i.e

16574 erwerw*********19 but spaces it displays
16754 erwerw19

Thanks in advance

Jimmy,

You have to remember that you are ultimately viewing HTML code which has
certain rules about it, one of them is multiple spaces in a HTML tag. Try
the HTML space,  , constant and see if that works for you.

HTH,
