I made timer, which outputs time like this:
0:1, 0:2, 0:3 ... 0:10 ...
string.Format("{0}:{1}", hours, minutes);
But I want to output as follows:
00:01, 00:02, 00:03

0:1, 0:2, 0:3 ... 0:10 ...
string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", hours, minutes);
Will output
00:01, 00:02, 00:03

How about reading the .NET documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.format.aspx ? Many working samples already provided by others...

If you have a DateTime object, you can say:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
// string.Format("{0:hh:mm}", dt);
If you have numbers, use:
string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", hours, minutes);

string.Format("{0,2}:{1,2}", hours, minutes);

In C# to have leading Zero you can use Format :
intValue.ToString("00.##");
So, if you want to have your minute and second with leading zero you can use:
string.Format("{0}:{1}", hours.ToString("00.##"), minutes.ToString("00.##"));
If your timer use the TimeSpan object you can use the Format for the TimeSpan:
myTimeSpan.Format("hh:mm");

you should take a look at this site. it gives a nice run-down on string formatting.

You could use the toString on the Timespan or datetime object or you could change you code to the following
string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}");

i don't know if there is a simple and correct way of doing it.. but anyway you can write this
String.Format("{0}:{1}",hours < 10 ? ("0" + hours) : hours, minutes < 10 ? ("0" + minutes) : minutes);
hopes it's help... :)
