Format String variable

[danishce]

Hello:
I want to format fixed length string using vb.net. If the size of string is less than field size then it should filled with zero.
ex:i want to format fixed length 10 digit amount field which is input by the user.if the user fills only 6 digits then the data will be left justified and on the right side remaining 4 digits it filled with zeroes.
1)Enter Amount="500100"
formatted string="5001000 000"
2)Enter Amount="500"
formatted string="5000000 000"
please guide me urgently?
Thanks

One way would to create a loop where string.length > 10 string += 0. This is not the exact code bot may get you started.

I am not familiar with vb.net but the idea will be the same as the following solution in C#

string sInput = "5000"
string sResult = sInput.PadRight (10, '0');

The above should return "5000000000 " for sResult
