Textbox Data Masks

[Ragnarox]

Hello all,

I have set up a mask for a textbox, that will display an integer as money. The problem is that when i go to save it it tries to save the mask into the database as well. Do the masks in VB.Net not get stripped out when you are saving, or is there a place that i have to set it up to pull the masks out? Currently i have functions that will restore the value back to an integer, but if it will do it on its own i would rather it be done that way.

Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

Brian

Christiaan,

Here is how we are doing the masking for the text boxes.

Dim ShortDollarAmount As String = "$#,###,##0"

Then in the sub that place the data into the textboxes we have this :

txtEmployeeMin.Text = Format(dr("EmployeeMin"), ShortDollarAmount)

Hope this clears up what we are doing,

Brian
