Answer 2

This should do the trick:

textbox1.Text = String.Format("{0,10:+0.00000;-0.00000}", number1);
textbox2.Text = String.Format("{0,10:+0.00000;-0.00000}", number2);
textbox3.Text = String.Format("{0,10:+0.00000;-0.00000}", number3);
textbox4.Text = String.Format("{0,10:+0.00000;-0.00000}", number4);
textbox5.Text = String.Format("{0,10:+0.00000;-0.00000}", number5);

or this if you want the sign symbol before the padding.

textbox1.Text = String.Format("{0:+;-}{0,9:0.00000;0.00000}", number1);
textbox2.Text = String.Format("{0:+;-}{0,9:0.00000;0.00000}", number2);
textbox3.Text = String.Format("{0:+;-}{0,9:0.00000;0.00000}", number3);
textbox4.Text = String.Format("{0:+;-}{0,9:0.00000;0.00000}", number4);
textbox5.Text = String.Format("{0:+;-}{0,9:0.00000;0.00000}", number5);
