    static string StrPadRight(string str, char ch, int num)
    {
        string result = "";

        result += str;
        for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
        {
            result += ch;
        }

        return result;
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string Str      =   "";
        string paddedStr=   "";

        Console.Write("Enter a string: ");
        Str = Console.ReadLine();

        paddedStr=StrPadRight(Str, '$', 5);
        Console.WriteLine("Padded String: " + paddedStr);
    }
}

Output

Enter a string: IncludeHelp
Padded String: IncludeHelp$$$$$
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation

Here, we created two static methods StrPadRight() and Main(). The StrPadRight() method is used to pad the string with specified character by a given number of times.

In the Main() method, we read the value of the string and passed to the StrPadRight() method that returned the right padded string and then finally prints the result on the console screen.
