Display "0034" instead of "34"

When displaying a number, I want to convert it from an integer to a string with leading zeros. Or something like that.

So I have an integer. Let's say 34. I want that number to be displayed as 0034. How would I accomplish this?

EDIT: I'm doing a countdown timer. I wan the timer to count down like this: 12, 11, 10, 09, 08, 07, 06......instead of 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc..... So it needs to be dynamically represented, not just adding two 0's to the string.

That's your man right there.

ah....perfect. Thx :)

another option is to use just the 'ToString()' method

Code:

---

int i = 34;
string s1 = i.ToString("0000");
string s2 = i.ToString().PadLeft(4, '0');

---

They both result in the same

Yeah, I used the pad left after converting ToString(). Works well for me.
