Integer values 1 and 00000001 are exactly the same. Don't mix up numeric values with their string representations.

Change your database type to string.

Make use of the String.Format()[^] features to convert an integer value into a fixed length string.

Solution 1

it cannot be stored in an integer value... You have to store it in string if you want it to be stored in this pattern.

You can use below command

C#

int count = 0;
count = 000000 + i; //where i=1
string customFormat = "000000";
string strVal = count.ToString(customFormat);
sw.write(strVal);

Correct, but OP would need at least some explanation, because of huge confusion with the very basic things. I voted 4.
Tried add my own answer, but... please see if you are curious...
