Numbers input in C#

I know this should be an easy thing but I don't know how to do it.

I want to insert some data into a table, and I'm using loops because I have over 1million datas to insert. It should look like this "PM-0000000000, PM-0000000001......... PM-0000099999". Now here's the problem. I don't know how to add those zeros in front according to the numbers that are after the zeros. the number length (PM-"0000000000") Should always be 10.

Help please ?

you can generate full code using string.Format

string.Format("PM-{0:D10}", intval)

You can do string result = number.ToString("0000000000");

But I prefer @Kasyx's answer above. (I added this answer for completeness.)

Please check this documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k.aspx#DFormatString

int yourNumber = 999;
string filledNumber = yourNumber.ToString("D10");

Where D10 means, your number will be filled to 10 digits.

Use padleft to fill the string with the number of zeros you need

string value="99999";
string concat= "PM" + value.PadLeft(10, '0');
