I was able to use "Format" in VB6 to format numbers. Let's say Format("123",
"0000") would return 01234. I can't do this in ASP.NET

Any ideas?

Thanks, Marcelo.

The .NET Framework provides several format strings (specifiers) that you
can use to format the appearance of strings that derive from other objects.

Marcelo,

I'd be a bit worried if Format("123", "0000") returned
"01234", but I'll assume that was a typo. In .NET the
string class has a useful function for doing this,
here is an example:

    Dim inputString As String
    Dim outputString As String

    inputString = "123"

    outputString = String.Format("{0:0000}", inputString)

    Console.WriteLine(outputString)

As Dennis pointed out there is some quite good documentation
and its impossible to cover all the formating capabilities
in this one e-mail so I'll point you to this specific
piece of documentation in the Framework SDK.

    
ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDK/cpguidenf/html/cpconcustomnumericformatstri
ngs.htm

Hope this helps.
