Solution 1

C#

 string szQuery = "select REPLICATE ('0',8-DATALENGTH (EmployeeCode ))+EmployeeCode as 'EmpCode' from TBL_DKCSV"; //This might need some escaping

//Set connection to your database connection

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(szQuery, connection);

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Solution 2

If you are looking for a function in C# which is similar to REPLICATE in SQL server, you can use Padding strings[^]

If you are looking to show data from database in your application take a look at this article
Using ADO.NET for beginners[^]

Hi dear,

private void FxREPLICATE()
{
  SqlConnection objConn1 = new SqlConnection("Data Source= Sql Server Name ;Initial Catalog= Database Name ;user id=sa; password=123;"); // Write you sql server database name and necessary option.
  string sql = "select REPLICATE ('0',8-DATALENGTH (EmployeeCode ))+EmployeeCode as 'EmpCode' from TBL_DKCSV";
  SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, objConn1);
  objConn1.Open();
  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
  objConn1.Close();
 }
