Hex with leading zeros to string?

How can one format an integer into a hex string with leading zeros? Suppose
an integer is 512 which in Hex is 200. I wish to print the 4-byte integer
as 0200 or even 0x0200. The HEX function doesn't create leading zeros. The
Format function (format(value," X") doesn't create leading zeros.

I believe there should be a simple way that doesn't involving measuring and
padding the string.

How about
Hex(value).PadL eft(4, "0"c) ?

Al, Thanks loads. It seems a little hokey but it works just like it is
documented.

Hi Rich

String.Format(" {0:X4}", value)

Value.ToString( "X4")

Thanks to all for the three options. I like Value.ToString( "X4") best but I
also like the padleft method for other uses.

Having done mostly VB6, I am new to .Net programming and am interested in
recommended books that would contain these kinds of details.

Hi, I have 2 text boxes on an ASP form. A user enters a Serial Number in TB1 such as 0105123456, presses tab to move to TB2, TB2 then displays the value of TB1 after a calculation has been done. (Based on a Serial Number range). i.e. a user enters 0105123456, TB2 then adds 'x' qty to this number depending on how many serial numbers are required.

I have a database setup that uses ODBC connections into SQL for read only views to compare information from multiple sql databases in our company. Most of the tables use the Employee ID as the primary key. The problem is, one database formats the EmpID with leading zeros so all EmpID's are 5 characters long. (ie, 00123, 01523) Another database formats the EmpID as just the number of characters as the number is (ie, 123, 1523). When you...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
