Create string of length X

[Martin Rosén-Lidholm]

When unit testing constraints of my business object, I oftentimes need
strings of a certain length. What characters are of no importance.

I'm looking for an elegant way of doing this.

How about padding?

string s = new string('#', 20); // gives "####################"

string s = new string('#', 20); // gives "####################"

Hmmm, how about:

class Builder
{
static string MakeString(int iLength)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

for(int i = 0; i < iLength; i++)
{
sb.Append('x');
}

return sb.ToString();
}
}

so, string str = Builder.MakeString(5); gives you: xxxxx

Just do

string s = new string('x', 100);

string s = new string('x', 100);
