Rather than a MaskedTextBox, why not use a DateTimePicker? That way the date is always valid, and it is obvious regardless of locale. If you can't, then you would be best to use a ValidatingType property[^]
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Hello Mohamed, I don't know if it would fit in your scenario, but I'd advise you to try to use a datetime picker where Format property is set to custom. Cheers Manfred

The maskedtextbox is described here[^], and it's usage is explained with a nice example at the bottom of that page. You'd set the mask to "00/0000" according the example, but I bet that it takes somewhat more customizing than merely changing the mask.

You could create a new class that encapsulates both a month and a year. The current edit-controls would not know how to interact with your class, unless you also create a
TypeConverter. I suggest you keep it simple and put two textboxes on that form; limit the keys that can be entered to numbers. Done :)I are Troll :suss:
