Is there a way in T-SQL to convert a TINYINT to VARCHAR with custom number formatting? For instance, my TINYINT has a value of 3 and I want to convert it to a VARCH of 03, so that it always shows a 2 digit number.
I don't see this ability in the CONVERT function.

TO_CHAR (number) converts n to a value of VARCHAR2 datatype, using the optional number format fmt . The value n can be of type NUMBER , BINARY_FLOAT , or BINARY_DOUBLE . If you omit fmt , then n is converted to a VARCHAR2 value exactly long enough to hold its significant digits.
Converting int to string/varchar using Cast() So, in the above example, we have declared a variable of integer data type and assigned a value to the variable. After this, we are using the Cast() function to convert the variable to the varchar data type of length 10.
RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, MyNumber), 2)
Be warned that this will cripple numbers > 99. You might want to factor in that possibility.

Use the RIGHT function... e.g.
DECLARE @testnum TINYINT
SET @testnum = 3
PRINT RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), @testnum), 2)
