    You can't store leading zero's in a numeric type. – tkausl Mar 04 '19 at 10:09

  • leading zeros are dropped in numbers, you can force the format to show leading zeros, but 1 and 01 are stored exactly the same – BugFinder Mar 04 '19 at 10:10

That is not possible. "01" is a string representation of some sort, not an actual value of an integer with value "1". Data types in .NET usually don't have formatting.

Using ToString you can format an integer to the format you require. If that is not what you want, you should use string.

In such case you don't need an integer but string instead:

string x = "01"

Unless what you need is a binary number:

in x = 0b01

Another option would be to store the value in an integer variable and format it with left-padded zero just before you need it:

int x = 1;
string formatted = x.ToString("D2");
