FormatString

[=?Utf-8?B?V2VzdGU=?=]

I am trying to format a social security number displayed on a Win form. The
text box that holds the ssn is bound to a data set. I tried the code below
in the form's OnLoad event; however, it doesn't work.

Binding ssnBinding;
ssnBinding = sSNTextBox.Data Bindings["Text"];
ssnBinding.Form atString = "000'-'00'-'0000";
ssnBinding.Form attingEnabled = true;

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: FormatString

What's the deal with the single quotes? Are those really in your format
string? Does it work if you take them out?
