Hi

I would like to convert a number to string but with a preceding zero if the
number is less than 10.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

Regards

John,
What kind of number: Integer or Float?

For Integer (Byte, Short, Integer, Long) you can use the "D" format
specifier, with the number of digits to display:

Dim i as Integer = 9
Dim s As String = i.ToString("D2")

i = 100
s = i.ToString("D2")

For Float (Decimal, Single, Double) you will need to 'manually' do this with
string manipulations (String.PadLeft may help).

Hope this helps
Jay

MsgBox(Format(10, "00"))
MsgBox(Format(9, "00"))
MsgBox(Format(-1, "00"))
MsgBox(Format(-10, "00"))

dim i as integer = 5
dim s as string

s = i.tostring("00")

Armin,
Doh!

I forgot about the custom format. It will work with Single, Double &
Decimal!

Thanks
