Managing Spaces in String for Clean Output

Question

Lets go into slowly.

 

Lets suppose I am building a SQL Query by actually hardcoding the syntax in code and taking parameter values for database..

The Code looks something like below 

What I want now is to show output like below which should be perfectly aligned in a single line as highlighted by Yellow Line

 

I tried storing the contents in left in string a and contents in right in string b.

Further I used string.format something like below but that didn't work out.

That actually removes the spaces

 

string alignedtext = string.Format("{0,-10} | {1,5}", a,b); 

 

So what is the best way to manage spaces such that the output looks neat and clean.

Code is below

 

if (attribute_unique_index_ind == "False")
{
// table script
strb_table_script.Append("\t,[" + attribute_name + "]" + " " + attribute_datatype + attribute_precision_value + " " + attribute_not_nullable);
if (j + 1 < dv_entity_metadata.Count)
strb_table_script.Append(Environment.NewLine);
if (attribute_datatype == "VARCHAR")
changemetxt = "'Change Me'";
else if (attribute_datatype == "DATE")
changemetxt = "'01/02/3456'";
else
changemetxt = "'Change Me'";
string a = Environment.NewLine + "\t," + changemetxt + "AS" + " [" + attribute_name + "]";
string b = "/*" + attribute_not_nullable + "|" + attribute_datatype + attribute_precision_value + "< --- UPDATE */";
string alignedtext = string.Format("{0,-10} | {1,5}", a,b);
strb_sp_custom_block_script.Append(alignedtext);
}
