Alright back with the same but different example problem but this time I think it requires some "formating" and knowledge of "escape characters". As a novice programmer this is the caliber of trouble I am going through lol.

Does this need knowledge of escape characters as well ? ("\t") would this just be the rearrangement of that certain character?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleAppBannerOutput
{
    class CommentBanner
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("**********************************************");
            Console.WriteLine("Programming Assignment #4\t");
            Console.WriteLine("Developer:\tAlma Kind");
            Console.WriteLine("Date Submitted:\t September 17");
            Console.WriteLine("Purpose:    Provide internal documentation");
            Console.WriteLine("**********************************************");
            Console.ReadKey();

        }
    }
}

the output should match something like this:

***********************************************

*	Programming Assignment #4             *                               

*       Developer:         Alma King          *                                             

*       Date Submitted:    September 17       *                                         

*   Purpose    Provide internal documentation *                                             

***********************************************

Thanks for the help as always!

*UPDATE: there should be "stars" covering both sides of the banner dont know why the other side is disappearing....

Here are two different ways to do it, pick the one you like best:

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1 {
    class Program {
        static void Main(string[] userInput) {
            Console.WriteLine("***********************************************");
            Console.WriteLine("*                                             *");
            Console.WriteLine("*       Programming Assignment #4             *");
            Console.WriteLine("*                                             *");
            Console.WriteLine("*       Developer:         Alma King          *");
            Console.WriteLine("*                                             *");
            Console.WriteLine("*       Date Submitted:    September 17       *");
            Console.WriteLine("*                                             *");
            Console.WriteLine("*   Purpose    Provide internal documentation *");
            Console.WriteLine("*                                             *");
            Console.WriteLine("***********************************************");

            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("***********************************************");
            Console.WriteLine("*\t\t\t\t\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\tProgramming Assignment #4\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\t\t\t\t\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\tDeveloper:\t   Alma King\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\t\t\t\t\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\tDate Submitted:\t   September 17\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\t\t\t\t\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("*   Purpose    Provide internal documentation *");
            Console.WriteLine("*\t\t\t\t\t      *");
            Console.WriteLine("***********************************************");
            
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
