Say you have the following Customer object with an overridden ToString method:
public class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return string.Format("Id: {0}, name: {1}, city: {2}", Id, Name, City);
}
}

.NET has a fairly large number of built-in string formatters that you can pass into the string.Format method. Here are some examples from the MSDN page about formatting:
String.Format("{0,-12}{1,8:yyyy}{2,12:N0}{3,8:yyyy}{4,12:N0}{5,14:P1}",
city.Item1, city.Item2, city.Item3, city.Item4, city.Item5,
(city.Item5 - city.Item3)/ (double)city.Item3);
String.Format("{0,-12}{1,8}{2,12}{1,8}{2,12}{3,14}\n",
"City", "Year", "Population", "Change (%)");
String.Format("{0,-10:C}", 126347.89m);
The IFormatProvider and ICustomFormatter interfaces will provide you with the methods required to create your own formats.
