How to zero-pad a number?

And the second?

Doesn't matter. The documentation clearly states, "When one or both operands are of type string...", so the type of the other operand is irrelevant.

I missed that the first time also. :)

Where do you see that in the documentation? I don't even see
+in the documentation. And what idiot thought that was a good idea? :wtf: Time to find a new language; this one's becoming VB. X| Edit: I finally found it; it's not documented with String; what a POS. :thumbsdown: I'm fairly sure that no self-respecting C# professional uses it that way. -

Heh, I go for the shorter version. If it doesn't make sense with a mishmash of ints/strings I use brackets or ToString(). Like for:
int i = 124, j = 253;
string s = "JD" + i + j; // Could be two things and no one wants to look up operator precedence, so instead...
string t = "JD" + (i + j);But yeah, usually I don't bother. Although, theoretically, I could now do
string s = 0; // won't initialise
string t = "" + 0; // will work fine O.oSo, let's get back to self-respecting... :rolleyes:

Heh, I go for the shorter version. If it doesn't make sense with a mishmash of ints/strings I use brackets or ToString() to clarify.

string t = System.String.Format ( "JD{0}" , i + j ) ; -
string t = System.String.Format ( "JD{0}" , i + j ) ;Make that:
string t = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "JD{0:D}", i + j);
You typically don't want culture-specific formatting or group separators in the result.

I've never had that problem.

A padded number in a file name!
// Set to padded number
int fileCount = Directory.GetFiles("[censored]", "*.csv", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length + 1;
string fileCountStr = (fileCount <= 999 ? fileCount <= 99 ? fileCount <= 9 ? "000" : "00" : "0" : "") + fileCount;I think this should win an award for readability in a triply-nested ternary condition :rolleyes:.
