Instead of doing this, I want to make use of string.format()
to accomplish the same result:
if (myString.Length < 3)
{
myString = "00" + 3;
}
If you're just formatting a number, you can just provide the proper custom numeric format to make it a 3 digit string directly:
myString = 3.ToString("000");
Or, alternatively, use the standard D format string:
myString = 3.ToString("D3");
