Question

If I have a string (010) and i want to add 1 to it (011) what value type should i use to convert this string into a number for adding and at the same time preserve the whole number and not 10 + 1 = 11.

Answer 1

You could use something like this:

string initialValue = '010'; int tempValue = Int.Parse(initialValue) + 1; string newValue = tempValue.ToString('000'); 

You do your math as normal and then just return your string to its previous format using the number formatting feature of the .ToString()
