C# winform masked textbox

[james.czebiniak]

newbie to .net
I have a masked textbox intended to display/input salary.
The mask is 999,999 or ###,###. When I place the info from the
database into the field it formats incorrectly.
The salary is 75000. In the textbox it displays 750,00
What am I doing wrong??

Try something like this:

string str = "75000";
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(String.Format(" {0:#,#}",
System.Convert.ToUInt32(str)));

That's because the control treats that as text, not a number. Since you
have specified 6 characters yet only provided 5, the control simply
fills in the text start at the left until it has placed all characters
in the field. You need to left pad your value with spaces so that
everything properly lines to the right.

salary = salary.PadLeft(6);
