Is there a way I can left pad a number in C#?

Question

I have this code:

phrasesPage.Title = "Timer: " + AS.timerSeconds.ToString();

The number of seconds can be anything from 120 to 0. Is there a way that I can have that display as "Timer: " plus the numbers 120 ... 099 .. 002 ... 001 ... 000 . In other words I need the number to show as three digits with left padding of 0's

.ToString("000") ought to work.

phrasesPage.Title = "Timer: " + AS.timerSeconds.ToString("000");

See Custom Numeric Formats for other examples of things you can do with the format string.
