Integer String Formating not Working?

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Very simple goal ... to string format an int with commas.

I have
int x = 12000

If I use

x.ToString("N")

I get 12,000.00

So I tried x.ToString("0,0")

I get 12,000. That's great!

But then if x is 1, I get "01"

That's not good ;-(

Tried a bunch of other stuff ... but don't get the desired results ... .

What am I doing wrong?

Try this

int num = 12000;
string str = string.Format("{0,0:{{#,##}}}",num);

If you have a int x, then ToSTring.("N0") should give you 12,000.

For my needs ... I needed the zero to stick around ... so I wen't with the
"N0"

Thank you guys very much!
