HI Experts,

I am reading a .CSV file using - testContextInstance.DataRow["UserKey1"].ToString();
But if UserKey1 data is 05453 then testContextInstance returns 5453.

The Prefix '0' is not read.

I wanted the data with prefix '0' to be returned by testContextInstance.
Do any any have any Idea?

Thanks
Rohit

Solution 2

Assuming that your output should allways show 5 digits, try PadLeft().

testContextInstance.DataRow["UserKey1"].ToString().PadLeft(5, '0')

Rather than deleting and reposting, you could always edit your original.

Yes I know. I had some weird browser issue. After posting my solution, browser showed it twice. So I deleted one and both were gone :-D.
Reposting same text showed up as deleted so I gave up and posted a slightly modified text.
Sorry for confusion.

No problem, it's just that many people miss the "Improve" link and don't appreciate that questions and solutions can be easily modified. I guess you hit a server that was having a bad day.
