The concept of leading zero is meaningless for an int, which is what you have. It is only meaningful, when printed out or otherwise rendered as a string.

Console.WriteLine("{0:0000000}", FileRecordCount);

Forgot to end the double quotes!

There s no such concept as an integer with padding  How many legs do you have - 2  02 or 002  They re the same number  Indeed  even the  2  part isn t really part of the number  it s only relevant in the decimal representation   If you need padding  that suggests you re talking about the textual representation of a number    i e  a string   You can achieve that using string formatting options  e g   string text   value ToString  0000000      or  string text   value ToString  D7
