Fill a string with zeros and value. (005)

[Guest deBruineBeren]

I would like to place the value of "FileLongGR" in to a textbox "txtLongGR".

And fill the empty spaces in front of the value with zeros (00).

In eMbedded Visual Basic I used this code:

Dim FileLongGr

Dim strLongGR As String


strLongGR = String(3 - Len(FileLongGr), "0") & FileLongGr

txtLongGr.Text = strLongGR

Is there something like this for VB.NETCF ?

Thanks in advance.

sorry, just to clarify

you want to fill a textbox with 0's after a specific word has been set to the textbox text property?

you can use the PadLeft or PadRight property to do this i believe

for example:

string tempString = "Some String";

this.textBox1.Text = tempString;

this.textBox1.Text = this.textBox1.Text.PadRight(this.textBox1.MaxLength - tempString.Length, '0');

this is C# but should be no different than vb.net

@ Tech, thanks for the hint.

What I want to do is place a value in a textbox and fill the empty spaces in front of the value with zeros.

This is the code i'm using now thanks to your hint:

Dim LongGraden As String = MathClass.Graden(Longitude)

            txtLongGraden.Text = LongGraden.PadLeft(txtLongGraden.MaxLength, "0")

The Matclass.Graden calculates the Longitude in degrees.

The Maxlenght of textbox txtLongGraden = 2

So if the Longitude in degrees is for example 4 the textbox wil show 04.

If the Longitude is 52 (here in the Netherlands) the textbox wil just show 52.

Thanks again.

Alex.

you may also want to use the Format string function. It's more flexible. ;)
