how add zeros to numbers...

[Asha]

hello...
i have a number which i want to add 0's to it..

e.g.
int number = 002;
number = number + 1 and it should return me e.g. 3.
how can i keep the 002 and allow it to return 003 instead of just 3?

thanks.

Hi Asha,

Try this?

int number = 002;
number = number + 1;
Label1.Text=number.ToString("000");

You don't have a number. You have a string. In numbers, 002 IS 2. There are
no leading zeros. There are only bits. A 32-bit integer, for example, has 32
bits, all of which are either 1 or 0.
