.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2006Fixed String Size.
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?

Put the code in the property. That is exactly what properties are for. > 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.

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. Signature----------------------------------- Ken Varn Senior Software Engineer Diebold Inc.
