Hi You can use MaskTextBox like this But I suggest you better use DateTimePicker control as you will be not worry weather user has entered correct date value or not. You can use like this private void Form1_Load(object sender System.EventArgs e) { dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom; // Display the date as 26/02/2013. dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = dd/MM/yyyy; } Regards Iftikar
