Padding hex values

[Richard]

I want to pad out a hex value with leading zeros, e.g. I
don't want 7B I do want 0000007B. The best I can do is
Return New String("0"c, 8 - Len("7B")) & "7B". Can anyone
do better?

Use the PadLeft function of the String class:

Dim myString as String = "7B"
Return myString.PadLef t(8,"0")
