Hi.
I think you are pertaining to the 'Text Align' thing?
You can see that on the property window of your project. On the right side.

Solution 2

You can apply :

ASP.NET

<asp:textbox id="txtTest" style="text-align: right;" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:textbox>

The word can any thing a number or character it will work for both.

Solution 3

As a WinForms alternative to Solution 2

Me.TextBox1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right

or as Karen Mitchelle [^] pointed out in the comments, you can change this property at design time.

For either ASP code-behind or winforms...

If the text is to be used for other purposes you can "right-align" the string itself by padding left with spaces e.g.

Dim s As String = "Some Text".PadLeft(15, " ")

produces

|      Some Text|

For example you could use this method to right align items in a combobox like this

VB

For i = 1 To 10
        Me.ComboBox1.Items.Add(i.ToString().PadLeft(15, " "))
Next

If you try the code Dim s As String = "Some Text".PadLeft(15, " ") you see that it will be go to the top and will delete all texts in the top.

and I just want to right align it at that line it is there and I want to RIGHT ALIGN not padleft.....

Thanks for your attention

You've confused me. There is no concept of "go to the top" of a String variable - it has a value (or not).
PadLeft gives the effect of right aligning text within the available "space" - see the combobox example
Some sort of context to your question might help - what controls are you wanting to right align, is this WinForms or Web or what??

I'm sorry for confuse.But if I have these texts:

B

a
and I want to right align it with that code this will be the result:

a
no B!

It is a winforms.

This is no clearer. Is this text in a textbox, richtextbox, listview, label???? Where did the "no" and the "!" come from? Try posting the code that you use to populate this text
