How do strip the mask character out of the mask Text box text

[grs]

If you do a maskTextBox.String() the mask characters are still in the
string. Surely MS does not want you to store the masking characters - where
is the method to remove the masking characters.

Hi grs,

Could you let me know what control is this? Is this a common TextBox in
windows form or in asp.net? As far as I know, the TextBox control doesn't
have the String() method. Also do you mean that you need to unmask the
character and show the plain text to the user?

Hi grs,

Do you mean that you need to exclude the mask characters such as '-' when
you're trying to get the text using maskedTextBox.Text property? If so, you
just need to set the maskedTextBox.textMaskFormat to
MaskFormat.ExcludePromptAndLiterals.

HTH.

Got it.
mtbZipCode.TextMaskFormat = MaskFormat.ExcludePromptAndLiterals;
