MaskEditBox loses value

[Erin]

I have a MaskEditBox for a phone number.  When I click out or tab out of the maskeditbox the value is replaced with (___) ___-____.  Is there a property that I need to set or some other workaround to fix this?

Hi Erin,

Thank you for contacting us.

How do you set the value in the maskeditbox? Using the Value property or the Text property? The right way is to use the Value property of the control.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

I was using the Text property, switching it to the Value property has cleared up this issue.

I am experiencing similar behavior but my MaskedEditBox is datetime and when I try to write .value instead of .text nothing is displayed.

Modified my code from:
 
 txtDateOfBirth.Value = ClientDataTable.Rows(0).Item("DateOfBirth")

To:
 
 txtDateOfBirth.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(ClientDataTable.Rows(0).Item("DateOfBirth"))

Works fine :)
