How can I get a leading zero on my date.
I pick the date from a calendar and it returns the result #4/2/2009#

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.
When using the command TimeOfDay.Now.Hours and TimeOfDay.Now.Minutes, etc... and the time is 09:03 (for example), the output is
93 when it should be 0903
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.

View 6 RepliesConverting 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?

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.
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 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 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.
