Board index » Visual Studio » creating a string from a character and integer with leading zeros

Visual Studio313
Hello there

I have a couple of questions which I hope somebody will help me with.

First, in VBscript, I used to use the function "string", which will take an

integer and a character, then creates a string of the character with the

integer as the length of this string.

Need to do the same with VB.net.

I also want to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length.

Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length

is 6.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Regards

Sameh

It's called 'StrDup' in VB.NET.



\\\

Dim s As String = Format(43, "000000")

Sameh,

In addition to the Format function. You can use Integer.ToString to have the

same the same effect.



Dim i As Integer = 45

Dim s As String

s = i.ToString("D5")

s = i.ToString("D4")



Hope this helps

Jay
