string.format

I read many articles on String.Format, in my case I have a string variable that I want to specify its format 10a (a is alpha-numeric), I would like you to help me write this instruction , thank you in advance
I believe this should do it.
myString = myString.PadLeft(10);

If you want "10a" (as opposed to " a"), you would use
myString = string.Format("10{0}", a);

So in my case I have a table which contains 6 colomns which corresponds to a code and its value, and this table contains the characteristics of this value with format.donc to read a file from the code and its value must be correctly formatted according to the table, so I need to specify the format in 10 alpha numeric, so how do this??
I would recommend a validation process. If you try to format the return you will get spurious results. Try using Regular Expressions to validate the value.

It's unclear what you are asking; please provide "before" and "after" examples.

myString = myString.PadLeft(10, '0');
would keep it all-alphanumeric. :)

string.Format("{0,10}", "a")
-
string.Format("{0,10}", "a")
that fills with spaces, one could argue the result isn't all alphanumeric. :)
