You can, for example, like this:

int i = 123; Console.WriteLine("{0,5}", i);

Where in the format string: 5 is the total length of the displayed number.

    It is possible through the specifier width format.

    Here is the code:

     int n = 5; string s = string.Format("|{0}| |{1,10}|", n, n); Console.WriteLine(s);

    gives out:

     |5| | 5|

    If you do not use string.Format or other similar functions, you can use PadLeft :

     s = n.ToString().PadLeft(10);
