Hi KP, In MVC we don't have "inputmast" data annotations. We can create our custom inputmask dataannotation. Refer the URl, It will help you!.. https://www.codeproject.com/tips/642477/input-masking-in-mvc-using-data-annotation

Try Like below: [Display(Name = "Phone" )] [InputMask( "(999) 999-9999" )] public string Phone { get ; set ; } [Display(Name = "Phone + Ext" )] [InputMask( "(999) 999-9999? x99999" )] public string Phone_Ext { get ; set ; } Reference: https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/642477/Input-Masking-in-MVC-using-Data-Annotation

Server Side Validation. Since there is no builtin masking for phone number in MVC. SO you have to use Regex for it. like below. [Required] [RegularExpression(@ "^$\d{3}$\s{0,1}\d{3}-\d{7}$" , ErrorMessage = "Enter a valid number" )] public string Phone { get ; set ; } For Client Side Use Jquery Mask plugin $(txtPhone).mask("(999) 999-9999999");
