Convert enum to string digit

Question

I want to convert enum to string with three digits in C#.

Like this:

enum test : short
{
    asdf, qwer, zxcv
}

test t = test.qwer;

string result = t.ToString("%03D") // Is this right?

I want to print 001

In a normal enumeration you can just cast as an integer, then call "ToString" with a format specified. In your case that should look like:

test t = test.qwer;
string result = ((int)t).ToString("000");

That should do it! Good luck.
