    Yup.
    Code:
    Console.WriteLine("|{0,10}|", "Test");
    Console.WriteLine("|{0,-10}|", "Test");
    Output:
    Code:
    |      Test|
    |Test      |
    If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
