I need to format a string to it always has 2 digits in it. I'm getting the
month like this:
DateTime.Now.Mo nth.ToString()
Right now since it's August, this returns a string of "8", however, I need
to return a string of "08". Is there a format method what will
automatically pad this for me?
Thanks.

But the .ToString seems both more readable and more
flexible.

You can do it either way, it formats the string the way your format
string specifies.
Read up on string formatting. It's very interesting. Try experimenting
with string formatting by using the string.Format() function. There
are lists of format codes on the web, just google for format string C#.

No one has denied that.

Here are some ways of doing it (including the ones already mentioned in
the thread):
DateTime.Now.Mo nth.ToString("0 0")
DateTime.Now.Mo nth.ToString("D 2")
DateTime.Now.To String("MM")
string.Format(" {0:00}", DateTime.Now.Mo nth)
string.Format(" {0:D2}", DateTime.Now.Mo nth)
string.Format(" {0:MM}", DateTime.Now)

The following was copied from a web site for learning formatting.
Dim myInt As Integer = 100
Dim FormatPrice As String = String.Format("Price = |{0,10:c }|", myInt)
Console.WriteLine(FormatPrice)
The result shown is no number but the character c as in the format string.
Is the format not valid in this context?
Thanks for your assistance,
Kevin

Hello everyone,
Trusting K&R2 i thought until recently that spaces are ignored in
scanf's format string. Reading arguments to the contrary confused me a
little. So i now ask:
Is scanf("%d%d",...) different from scanf("%d %d",...) in the
Standard's point of view?
Thank you.
