    VB.NET appropriate replacement for VB6.Format(field, formatStyle)?

    As the title says, how can I achieve this in VB.NET without using VB6 compatibility library?

    Code:
    maskedTextBox.Text = VB6.Format(maskedTextBox.Text, "###000")
    i.e add leading zeroes?

    If you want to add leading zeroes - leading any characters - to a String then you call its PadLeft method.
