How to pad number with leading zero with C#

Recently I was working with a project where I was in need to format a number in such a way which can apply leading zero for particular format. So after doing such R and D I have found a great way to apply this leading zero format.

I was having need that I need to pad number in 5 digit format. So following is a table in which format I need my leading zero format.

1-> 00001
20->00020
300->00300
4000->04000
50000->5000

So in the above example you can see that 1 will become 00001 and 20 will become 00200 format so on. So to display an integer value in decimal format I have applied interger.Tostring(String) method where I have passed “Dn” as the value of the format parameter, where n represents the minimum length of the string. So if we pass 5 it will have padding up to 5 digits.
