<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using the MaskEdBox to capture a date. <br />
If I use a format mm/dd/yyyy, the data ends up formatted the way I want. But as soon as I add the mask 99/99/9999 so the user does not have to key the /, the format no longer operates. How can I accomplish both?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
