PadToColumn

[=?Utf-8?B?QUEyZTcyRQ==?=]

I was looking into/using PadLeft & PadRight; I came across this code:

public void PadToColumnExam ple(DTE2 dte)
{
// Create a new text file.
dte.ItemOperati ons.NewFile(@"G eneral\Text File", "",
Constants.vsVie wKindPrimary);

// Create an EditPoint at the start of the new file.
TextDocument doc =

(TextDocument)d te.ActiveDocume nt.Object("Text Document");
EditPoint point = doc.StartPoint. CreateEditPoint ();

// Insert 10 lines of text.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
point.Insert("T his is a test.\n");

point.StartOfDo cument();

// Indent text to column 10.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
point.PadToColu mn(10);
point.LineDown( 1);
point.StartOfLi ne();
}
}

What is DTE2?

Re: PadToColumn

It looks to be part of EnvDTE

If all you want to do is pad, then you don't need this - the example
given is specific to VS automation.

What is it you want to do?

Re: PadToColumn

Thanks for the pointer Marc.

I am formatting email for SMTPclient as plain text & html; I am using
composite formatting ({0,-m} etc) and string.PadRight (m) etc. for plain text.
I came across PadToColumn and could not figure out what it was doing. Hence
the question: from what you indicate, it is not of any use for the job to
hand.
