MonthCalendar Date Mask

[Chris Thompson]

How can I mask the entry of a date in a MonthCalendar cell type on a griddataboundgrid? My users would like to type a date like 02122005 and have it masked as 02/12/2005. Currently it throws aa error if no sepatators are used.

One possible solution is to handle the CurrentCellValidateString method and verify the text is valid with each keystroke. Here is a sample showing this method. The second option is to use our DateTimePicker in a cell and format it. Here is a sample showing this implementation.
