• No need to convert to an Int32 - a Byte is already numeric;
• No need for custom padding or extensions methods, when the built-in format strings will do the work for you;

string ByteValueString = SingleByte.ToString("D3");
OutputBuilder.Append(ByteValueString);

// requires your project has a reference to System.Numerics, and a using statement foe it

Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
byte[] b = g.ToByteArray();
BigInteger bigI = new BigInteger(b);

string s0 = g.ToString();
string s1 = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(b);
