Converts an enumerable set of objects (of the same type) into a mock table of rows and columns formatted using ASCII
box characters. Each property in the incoming object type becomes a column of the mock table. The first row of the
mock table is a header row containing the column property names.

SyntaxC#
public static IEnumerable<string> Tablize( this IEnumerable<Object> source, int? maxColLen = null, int? maxRows = null )
Parameters
- source IEnumerable<Object>
- An enumerable set of objects which must be the same Type.
- maxColLen Nullable<Int32> (Optional)
- Optional maximum length of text in each mock column.
- maxRows Nullable<Int32> (Optional)
- Optional maximum number of mock rows to process.
Return Value
IEnumerable<String>An enumerable set of text lines that display as a mock table using box ASCII characters. Control characters in the displayed values are replaced with a small box U+25AB.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Object>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).ExampleC#
var list = Process.GetProcesses().Take(5).Select(p => new { p.ProcessName, p.Id, p.WorkingSet64, p.BasePriority }); string[] lines = NiceFormatter.Tablize(list).ToArray(); foreach (var line in lines) Console.WriteLine(line);
