[Solved] Why won’t my c# application work? [closed]

Question

The problem is you’re expecting integers to behave like strings.

The point you’re missing is that:

 int a = 01;

is the same as:

 int a = 1;

There’s no difference. You can’t pad an integer. What you need is to format the integers into a string, using a format specifier. Something like this:

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = 
    string.Format("http://garfield.com/uploads/strips/{0:D4}-{1:D2}-{2:D2}.jpg", 
        year, month, day);

This will give a string that contains the numbers in the format yyyy-mm-dd.

(The documentation for padding string-formatted integers is here.)
