    The value after the X specifies the minimum number of characters in the formatted number.

    String.Format("{0:X1}", 12) => "C"    
String.Format("{0:X2}", 12) => "0C"
String.Format("{0:X3}", 12) => "00C"
String.Format("{0:X4}", 12) => "000C"
String.Format("{0:X5}", 12) => "0000C"
String.Format("{0:X6}", 12) => "00000C"
String.Format("{0:X7}", 12) => "000000C"
String.Format("{0:X8}", 12) => "0000000C"

    And FYI, the maximum value after X is 99.
