整数的字符串格式c＃

Question

I have a class that contains two strings, one that reflects the current year and one that represents some value. These fields are combined based on a format (uses string.format) that is specified by the user. IMPORTANT: The user entered data used to be generated so it was always an integer and we didn't have to worry about this.

Our default format is "{0}-{1:000}". However, now that the user specified data is a string it does not want to format appropriately. Here is an example:

The user enters 12 as there required data. When formatting, instead of displaying 2011-0012, it is only displaying 2011-12. How can I make sure that the 0's are added without doing some crazy loop that will append the 0's or attempting to parse the number (assuming that it is a number. There should only be enough 0's to equal a string of length 4)?

Here is what I have tried as a format:

"{0}-{1:0000}" -> the original format when the user was forced to enter numbers. "{0}-{1:D4}" "{0}-{1:N4}"

Answer 1

你可以使用string.PadLeft() ：

string output = string.Format("{0}-{1}", "2011", input.PadLeft(4, '0'));

Answer 2

You can use string.PadLeft to add the zeros to the left, or use int.TryParse to attempt conversion to an integer. The latter will double up as your validation check.
