Fixed String Size.

[Ken Varn]

I want to be able to set a fixed length of a string in my class so that if a
smaller string is copied into it, then the string is padded with blanks. If
a larger string is copied into it, I want the string to be truncated. Is
there some neat .NET shortcut to doing this or do I have to put code in my
property wrapper to handle this?

I think String.Format() should take care of it.

I could use a property for any string manipulation logic for that matter. I
was hoping there was something built-in to the string class that would
provide this without having to do a property wrapper. Or have a sub-class
of String like FixedSizeString. Wasn't sure if such an animal already
existed or not.
