string tempstr = tempval.ToString ("000");

Hope that helps,

string tempstr = tempval.ToString ("000");

Or, you can use:

string tempstr = String.Format ("{0:000}", tempval);

Hello Bishman,

Try "000" instead of "0???"

You can do anything with a little bit of 'magination.
I have been programming so long, that my brain is now soft-ware.
