All I wanted was to take a numeric string, and increment it. The string happened to be 2 digits long.
All I wanted to do was something along the lines of var.ToString().PadLeft(2).
So off to google I went, and I finally found my answer, but not in any MSDN documentation. The MSDN docs refer to format strings as if I use them EVERY single day. I don't. I deal with them about once every 3 months, (but this time ... I'm writing it down)
I eventually found this method
stringVar = intVar.ToString().PadLeft( 2, '0' );
Anyway, I finally found this on SteveX's blog which is what I wanted in the first place.
stringVar = intVar.ToString("00");
Yes, I'm hard coding it to two digits, I know, “bad programmer“. I can hack it to length later, I just didn't want to have to write “leading zero code.
