Is there any built in method to add leading zeros to string?

Question

Hi i am working with c# windows application

I dot know how many zero to add exactly.

Is there any method to give the direct value.

MyFormat=ddlCounter.Text(Ex:-00001)
MyStartNo=TxtStart.Text(Ex:-10)

I want output in some string ex:-strStartno=00010

Is there any direct method to add leading zeros depending on dropdown select value and the textbox value.

Regards,
venkat.

 The PadLeft method allows this sort of thing.

Dim yourString As String

yourString = "1000"

yourString.PadLeft(4, CChar("0"))


This will give a string of "00001000"

The above will put 4 zero characters on the front of your string.

Hope this helps.
