Numeric Formatting

[gmltc1]

For the first I am delving into the realm of formatting numbers. Basically I have a number that will from 0 to 60 and need to add a leading zero to it if less than 10. Output would be like: 01 or 07, etc. The number is stored in a decimal (due to previous math done to it). Ultimately it will end up in a string.

Appreciate any thoughts.

This is documented at:

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpguide/html/cpconcustomnumericformatstrings.htm

But basically, you would do this:

int MyInt = 8;
string MyString = MyInt.ToString("00");

chiph,
Thanks for the help. I dug high and low through the MSDN and other online resources, but still struggled some. What you posted was what was simply needed.
