Numeric padding in ASP.net

is there a way I can format a numeric decimal number to a 12 digit ?

I have to integrate the project with a payment gateway and the requirement says that

The amount will have to be padded with "0" from the left and include no decimal point. Ex : 1 = 000000000100 or 1.5 = 000000000150

So far, I have Convert.ToDecimal(amount).ToString().PadLeft(12, '0');

but this gives me 000000000015. I tried to .PadRight also but that doesn't give out the result.

Thank you

and the
- Decimal("D") Format Specifier (pads zeroes);
- same page, code sample.

int value; 

value = 12345;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D"));
// Displays 12345
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D8"));
// Displays 00012345

You can also give this a try.

Convert.ToDecimal(amount).ToString("0000000000.00").Replace(".", "");

Just multiply your number by 100.

Convert.ToDecimal(amount*100).ToString().PadLeft(12, '0')
