How to make convert a Month or Day to reflect as a 2 digit string using C#

Question

How does one convert a Month or Day to reflect as a 2 digit string using C#

For example : (02 instead of 2)

Answer 1

If you have a DateTime, use its string formatters:

string month = DateTime.Now.ToString("MM"); // or "dd" for day 

Or if it makes more sense to work with a number that you have, use the numeric formatters:

string monthStr = monthInt.ToString("00");
