String.Format phone number

Hey,

String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", 1231231234) produces (123) 123-1234

String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", 123) produces
() -123

How can I left align it so that if only 3 digits are provided, it returns (123) -

Thanks,

Sorry I am not able to get you..

Hello,

Is this input coming from a textbox, and you are having to put it into the correct format?

If so, have you thought about using a masked textbox?

I think that might makes things a bit easier.

Hope that helps!!

i think hes saying how can he fill in the area code first if there are only 3 numbers

im not sure but one way to cheat might be something like


if textbox.text.length== 3
{
format string one way
}
else
{
String.Format("{0###) ###-####}", 1231231234)
}
