Hi,

Try this

int id = 2;
            string idStr;
            idStr = id.ToString().PadLeft(4,'0');

This MSDN article about Custom Numeric Strings has good examples

easiest way:

int myInt = 5;
string formattedInt = myInt.toString("0000");
int readFormatted = int.Parse(formattedInt); //in case you want it back to an integer

Sure but how do you explain getting "1234 -> 1234" or "123 -> 0123"? That is not a solution, but just hard coding all your requirements. That we could have done from the beginning, =_=; What we want is a program that will check the entered integers, if the value is a 4 digit, i.e. greater than 999, then no need to edit the value, however if it is less than that you need to check between 0-99 and 100-999 and accordingly append the zeros at the beginning.

well based on the original post, using ToString("0000") works perfectly since it appends 0's if the number is less than 4 digits (less than 999) and does nothing if the number has 4 digits or more.
