    Masked Edit Box - What's the difference

    In VB.NET 2005, if I have a masked edit box with the mask of (999) 000-0000,
    doesn't the 9 represent an optional entry and a zero represent a required
    entry?

    Why then if I enter (213) 234-

    am I allowed to leave off the last four digits of the phone number?

    Thanks

      As I recall, before you process your form data, check to see if it's
      valid. I think there's a ValidateText procedure.
      I found some more information here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/
      library/system.windows. forms.maskedtex tbox.validatete xt.aspx

          Thanks for the link. I was wondering if I had to validate on exit but I
          thought the 0's took care of it.

              I thought it was the other way around. 9 was required and 0 was not. Have
              you tried that just to see if it will work?
