[RESOLVED] help with formatting using string.format

[Mithrandier]

I wish to have Result(3) zero padded on the left so that it's always 2 characters wide. I don't know how to accomplish this. for instance, if Result(2) is 1 and Result(3) is 5, I want it displayed as '1.05'. if Result(2) is 1 and Result(3) is 12, I want it displayed as '1.12'. How can this be accomplished?

lblVersion.Text = String.Format("{0}.{1}", Result(2), Result(3))

Thanks.

Are you looking for this one....

lblVersion.Text = String.Format("{0}.{1:##}", Result(2), Result(3))

That didn't seem to work.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The # symbol is for optional digits. 0 is for mandatory digits.

Oops! I didn't realize I needed to replace the '##' with '00'. It works now. Thank you for your help.
