Control MaskedTextBox

The MaskedTextBox control allows for data entry and output like a TextBox, but allows for "masks" to be set through the Mask attribute to limit the number and type of characters that can be entered. Masks are formats that control the data users can input. Examples of masks provided include ones for ID numbers, dates, product codes, and phone numbers. A case study demonstrates a mask for a 15-digit cadastral code for Guayaquil with heterogeneous groups separated by dashes.

Control MaskedTextBox
El control MaskedTextBox es un control que le permite entrada y
salida de datos al igual que el TextBox, su diferencia es que en el control MaskedTextBox se
pueden establecer “Máscaras” a través de su atributo Mask, las máscaras son formatos que
limitan el número y tipo de caracteres que se pueden ingresar al MaskedTextBox. Esto permite
controlar mejor los datos que el usuario puede ingresar.

La tabla completa de Caracteres admitidos para el diseño de las máscaras es:
