Decimal number with preceding 0's

[mcdonger]

I have a decimal number, which I want in the format of an array of the integer values of each digit. so for example:

09.40
as an array:
{0, 9, 4, 0}

My current code (I get the trailing 0's with this, but not the preceding ones, and so the array is not of constant size which makes the next stage of my coding difficult):

                Dim x As Integer
                Dim y As Decimal
                Dim ca() as Char

            x += 1
            y = x / 23
            y = Format(y, "00.00")
            ca = y.ToString.Replace(".", "").ToCharArray()

Thanks in advance

Format is a String function, won't do you any good when implicitly converting it back to a number type.

Dim x As Integer = 1
Dim s As String = x.ToString("00.00")
