Convert integer into binary string without losing zeros

Question

I need to convert a whole in binary, my problem is that if I have 011001, I find myself at the end of the conversion 111. How can I leave the zeros? and maintain so the conversion as it should be. Thank you.

 int value = 8388607;
 String bin = Convert.ToString(value, 2);

SOLUTION:

String bin = Convert.ToString(value, 2).PadLeft(X,'0');

where x is the number of bits that make up the string

is not the same question, he asks for conversion, I wonder how leave 0 in the conversion. — Mr. Developer, Dec 01 '16 at 14:32
I've reopened the question: I agree with Mr. Developer, it's not just a conversion. — Dmitry Bychenko, Dec 01 '16 at 14:40

PadLeft() should do it

     int value = 8388607;
     String bin = Convert.ToString(value, 2).PadLeft(32, '0');

Change 32 to how many bits you would like the number to show

How is this different from what is already written as the solution? – Manfred Radlwimmer Dec 01 '16 at 14:47
