The Input Mask property is used to change the format of a field having the Text or Date/Time datatype. This property provides the formats for different types of data such as zip-code, phone, date, time, password etc. The InputMask property can be used to make data entry easier and to control the values users can enter in a text box control. When the Input Mask property is set for a field, a user should fill the data in the same format. Any other format is either converted to the given format or remains as it is.
