Converting an object .tostring() removes the leading zeros. The object is not a fixed length, so I can't do object.tostring("0000000") where the number of zeros represents the fixed length.
An example object value is "0357" when I convert that object .tostring it becomes "357".
Is there a method for keeping the leading zeros where the length is not known?
I have a masked textbox formatted as "##:##:##:##". When I send the variables to it if the number is <10 I don't get the leading zero displayed. For example:[code[What I want it to look like is 00:01:02:03, what I get is 00:12:3. I've tried the variables as an integer and a string with no luck.
When populating the data into a date masked text box for display, I am not getting the zeros in front of the month and day resulting in the date 07/02/1974 displaying as 72/19/74.
How do I insure the month and day have the correct format before the masked tb gets filled. The data type in SQL is small date and displays in the table as 1974-07-02 vS2008 / SQL2008
I'm unable to get rid of the leading zeros in my time format. I want it to say 2:30 (two minutes 30 seconds) not like this 00:02:30. Is there a way to do this? DateTineInput1 and DateTimeInput2 are both text boxes. Here's all the code for the time format and duration

VB 2010 SQL Server Express 2008 R2..When I try to insert a new row in my data table, the account_no field, PK, nvarchar(9), leading zeros are trimmed.String variable "000000010" is saved as "10".If I use SQL management to INSERT the row, then it is save correctly.[code]
I have a textbox on a form that I use just for output (read only). After doing some calculations I display the value in HEX string as feedback to the user like:
txtReg0.text=HEX(Reg0) 'Reg0 is a UInteger previously calculated
This seems to work fine except the textbox only shows all the HEX characters if the first character isn't a zero. Otherwise, it shows less depending on how many zeros are leading.I WANT to show all (eight in this case) the characters regardless.
I am writing out a CSV file in a VB.NET Windows Application. It is a string, like this:99,Company,00666,TBDOn another form, the user can browse to this file and open it.When he does, I use the Microsoft Jet OleDB provider and read this file into a datagridview. It displays the four columns in the grid, but it truncates the two leading zeroes on 00666 and displays 666.I need those leading zeroes. I tried writing out the string like this:99,Company,'00666,TBD(notice the leading single quote before 00666, like you would type in an Excel cell to indicate it was text), but then when the four columns are displayed in the grid, I have the single quote and the two leading zeroes. I don't want the single quote, I just thought I could use it to indicate text.So my question is how can I write out a string of leading zeroes and have them read into the grid preserved?
I am coverting VB6 programs and I find that the following statement drops the leading zeros from the textbox tbLotNo.If I check the value of tbLotNo.text it is 0001, but it shows up in the Access 2010 database as
I have an asp:table which I want to exported to excel. One of my fields are alpha numeric and when exported to excel the leading 0s are stripped off. After going through this thread: Validation (CSS 2.0): 'mso-number-format' is not a known CSS property name I would like to use the css method "mso-number-format:@;.But the css is not exported to excel. I just tried to test it with simpler css things like bold font etc but its not getting carried over. I can see that if I surround my asp:Label with tags this change gets carried over to the excel but not the css bold . Other solutions in other thread does not work for me as ="00111" shows up as desired in excel but in the web form it shows up as ="00111" which is not what i want.

i was wondering if there was something i can use in VB which will let me have some fields in the DGV query to automatically have the format of 0.0000? There are some fields in that query which require this format. The Crystal Reports that accesses it gives incorrect info without this format type.
I am trying to format a date from a table that I'm getting so that I can concatenate it with another string.But I want the leading zero - I don't want 1/1/2009 - I want 01/01/2009.
I can't seem to find a formatting pattern that does this.
I need to format an entire column via Visual basic .net for VBA excel spreadsheets. I need to format the column to the following custom size ("00000").
I am using the following to select the range: ws.Range("AC:AD").Select()
I have a field that needs to be 10byts long. However, if the number does not use all 10 bytes, then it will need to have zeroes in front of it.say you have a Check number of 12345, well in the text file it would need to show up as : 0000012345..This is the code I'm currently using but when I open the text the other 5 remaining bytes are just spaces. [code]
format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1" I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456; Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.
Basically I need to make an if statement that checks the number of characters entered in a text box and pads left with 0's if there is not 3 characters entered.
Also, if letters are entered, I'd like it to produce an error message, or just not accept letters at all.
Is there someone who has done something similar in the past that might be able to help me format this textbox?
