How to fill a string with a required character

Question

I need to get a string with 8 '*' characters. How can I do this in .NET 3.5? .NET 4.0?

Thank.

Answer 1

Try:

string str = new string('*', 8);

Answer 2

My own quick workaround:

"".PadLeft(Password.Length,'*')

:)

But I think this should be the best solution.

Thank.
