Mask and datesHello all
I'm programming in a Windows form (VB 2005). I use the MaskedTextBox control. I use the slash "/" as separator date. When I retrieve data from a database in another workstation the separator changes by depending the separator OS by defualt "-" or "." How can I use the MaskedTextBox control always with "/"... or there is anoter solution? Thanks in advanced. henpat On Tue, 5 Dec 2006 14:58:53 +0100, path wrote:

It solves many common problems such as: - Validation - Use of separators - Invalid dates e.g. 30 February Can you format the date into the MaskedTextBox control?
I used to use that in VB6 a lot, but haven't used it in .Net yet. Something like maskedtextbox.text = format(myDate, "mm/dd/yy") This must match the mask you have defined, and it forces the incoming data into the same format. Does that help?
