title: How to get the number of characters of a tab in .NET?
body: <p>Is there a way to get the length (number of characters/blanks) of a tab in .NET? I am writing data to a text file and would like to create a table with two columns. Since some column entries in the first column appear to be longer/shorter than others, the second column looks ugly. I tried inserting a couple of \t's between entries, but that didn't fully help. </p>
