Why does the GridMaskedColumn store the mask with the data and the RadMaskedTextbox only stores the data value without the mask? I have a RadMaskedTextbox with a Phone mask of (###)###-#### and the value that gets stored in the database on an insert using the Text attribute of the Textbox is the numeric value of the phone number. I have a Telerik.GridMaskedColumn with the exact same mask and I am getting the mask and the data storing in the database ie. (333)444-6666. I can use either one but I would certainly appreciate some consistency in how these controls provide data.
