Am pretty new to .Net and am trying to use MaskEdBox on form so data is entered in correctly by users. The problem that my application is having is that it doesn't want to write data to or read data from a MaskEdBox. I added MaskEdBox to toolbar, by clicking customize, selecting COM tab, and tool. It shows up referencing it in solution explorer. Any advice or help is appreciated. If need be I can post code, but don't think that is problem as can write same data to regular text box.
