How to find min value of an n digit number?

I have been able to achieve what I am looking for but just want to know whether there is an inbuilt method to do so?

I have a number say 2665. Now since this is a 4 digit, I need the minimum value of a 4 digit number which is 1000.

Similarly if the number is 255, the answer would be 100.

I tried this 

int len = 2665.ToString().Length;

string str = string.Empty;
for (int index = 0; index < len; index++) 
{
    if (index == 0) 
        str += "1";
    else
        str += "0";
}

This gives correct result of 1000. But is there an inbuilt function for this?

You can also use constructor String(Char, Int32) of string to create the sequence of zeros you want.

string s = "1" + new string('0', str.Length-1);

You can use Pow and power 10 to length of string. For 1 it will give 1 for 2 it will give 10 etc.

var str = Math.Pow(10, len - 1).ToString();
