is there a way to define a constant to be a string of repeated characters

[joemiller]

is there a way to define a constant to be a character repeated 20 times,
which might look something like the following?

public string NewVariable( " ",20);

Hello,

Yes simply by adding the const keyword it then could not be changed.However you would need to set it manually be be the 20 charactors.

public const string MyConstString = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";

If your asking something else let me know.

Joe,

You asked this very question some time back, at which time I gave you this response.

thanks brett and koganam.

yea, I know, it's embarrassing how I forget something you told me june22, only six months ago. can't blame it on my 82 years because I have been that way all my life. I was introduced to programming 3 or so years ago and am now aware that possibly my brain may not be wired for serious programming. however, doesn't matter ... i persist because I love the power of software and the internet and actually enjoy doing this. drive defensively because you are a good resource and i would hate to lose you.
