add leading zero

[tshad]

In VB.Net,

How do I take a number such as 99 and convert it to 099?

I have a number from a DataTable named dr.Item(1) (dr being a datarow), that
I need to convert to a string with leading zeros. It needs to be 3 chars
long.

Thanks,

Tom

some ideas...

Function ThreeDigit(ByVal x As Integer) As String
Return x.ToString.PadLeft(3, "0"c)
'Return Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right("00" & x.ToString, 3)
End Function
