Add zero to the front of a number

[viettho]

Hi, i'm doing a project and I need to add 0 to the front of a number. Is there a way to format a number? for example: 898 become 000898 If anyone could help me, I would appriciate. Thank you.

Is there a way to format a number? for example: 898 become 000898 I assume you have some kind of variable where you store your number. Let's also assume this variable is an Int32 (Integer in Visual Basic). The easiest way is to use the method Int32.ToString(String)[^] and pass an appropriate NumberFormatInfo[^].

Dim myInt As Integer = 898
MessageBox.Show(myInt.ToString("D6"))

Best regards Dennis

An alternate solution is to use the format function to ensure a number has an enforced number of characters: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/vafctFormat.asp[^]

Dim i As Integer = 898
MsgBox(Format(i, "00000#"))

Hope this helps Tom

Example: Dim X As Integer = 827 TextBox1.Text = Format(x, "000000").ToString
