Hi  You can not store Leading Zero in int Column of Database for that you need to use varchar column . or as another solution Store the value in database as integer and In Front End Of Application Display it with leading Zero . you can display this type of result using Query in Front End select ('0'+Convert(varchar(MAX)Amount)) from Table

Kirtan Thats fine for having the ASCII equivalent however the string say 0912 that i want converted is actually a primary key so passing the ascii as a parameter wont work. Am I right in saying that ints dont store leadng zeros? Thats basically the problem i want ints to retain leading zeros when converted from a string to an int. Any suggestions Kirtan? Anyone? Thanks Urema.

Hi Urema Here is What you want .. ( Code Will Convert Each Digit in Their ASCII Equivalent :) let me know if you are having any difficulties. private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { // Convert TextBox Number Charater Array char [] nums = textBox2.Text.Trim().ToCharArray(); // Varaible for Storing Final Complete Integer Equivalant of Number string FinalNumber =  ; //Process Each Characters foreach ( char c in nums) { FinalNumber += Convert .ToInt32(c); } //Store Final Concataed String into Integer int fnum = Convert .ToInt32(FinalNumber); //Show it In MessageBox MessageBox .Show(fnum.ToString()); }
