Question

I have a question or actually two regarding the
Convert.ToInt32 function or Int32.Parse.

It seems when I use Int32.Parse("06487965") or the other function it just seems to lose the 0.
So the output will be "6487965".

My questions:

1. Why is that exactly ?
2. How can I solve this without getting into crazy hacks ?

Answer 1

Leading 0’s aren’t represented when you ToString an int by default. You want to pass a format like "00000000".

int value =  Int32.Parse("06487965");
string stringAgain = value.ToString("000000000");
