I have a string and variable that I am trying to get added into a ListBox and trying to format it to no avail. Here is a sample..

Code: 
totalCost = ((Convert.ToInt32(txtYears.Text) * 12) - 1) * payment

lstDisplay.Items.Add(String.Format("{0,7}", "Total amount paid over " & txtYears.Text & " years:  " & FormatCurrency(totalCost)))

and although it puts the concantenated string into the listbox, no matter what I do the string will not format (stays on the left border).

Any Suggestions?
 
I need to modify the post. The actual code was:

Code: 
lstDisplay.Items.Add([B]String.Format[/B]("{0,7}", "Total amount paid over " &_
txtYears.Text & " years:  " & FormatCurrency(totalCost)))


I did a carriage return on this with the "_" so that it won't scroll off the page...
 
I will try it this evening....the end result string should say something like:

Total amount paid over 14 years: $250,000

Will your solution do that? Is it the string, followed by the formatting, a comma and then the other variable?
