add leading zeros to DS2 value

[MrPike]

How would I go about adding leading zeros to the value of a data subscriber2?  For example I want to display text in a textbox as " 00012" but the DS2 returns just "12" for its value.  I do not want to use concat.  Is there a format specifier method or something?  Thank you.

try : Value.ToString("D5")

I should add I am extracting the elements of the DS2.  My code looks like this and I want to have a leading zero anytime there is a single digit. Thank you.   

blblControllerTime.Text = e.Values(0) & ":" & e.Values(1) & ":" & e.Values(2)  'HH:MM:SS

Just off the top of my head, I think it is this:

e.Values(0).PadLeft(4,"0"c)

Regular expression is also cool:

Code: [Select]

Dim someText As String = "Process Value 321 is Too High"
        someText = Regex.Replace(someText, "\d+", Function(n) n.Value.PadLeft(8, "0"c))
        ' ouput of someText = "Process Value 00000321 is Too High"
