Rather than post processing of a text box, which will truncate user input, consider limiting it at the point of entry. This generally feels more natural to users as they do not get typing "thrown away" without them being aware in advance. You can set the TextBox.MaxLength property to 20 characters.

To pad the string to 20 characters, use
string paddedToTwentyChars = String.Format("{0,-20}", myTextBox.Text);

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
