[RESOLVED] MaskedTextBox Verification

Maybe it's a simple quiestion but i realy don't know how to solve it... i've searched on google bu i did not find any clue how can i check the MaskedTextBox...

I have put the mask "##/##/####" (to serve as a date input) and i dont know how can i check this do not be empty... i have tried "__/__/____" and also " / / " and "##/##/####" but nothings working...

Thanks in advice...

You're saying you tried " / /"? Because that works for me:

vb.net Code:

Dim emptystring As String = "  /  /"
        If Me.MaskedTextBox1.Text = emptystring Then
            MessageBox.Show("Empty")
        End If

i have tried...
i need to check if "dd/MM/yyyy" one by one...
dd ?
MM ?
yyyy ?

is something about Empty strings ? i think the yyyy section is not verified...

try

vb.net Code:

Dim DateVals() As String = Me.MaskedTextBox1.Text.Split("/"c)
        If (DateVals(0).Length = 2 AndAlso DateVals(1).Length = 2 AndAlso DateVals(2).Length = 4) AndAlso _
           (CInt(DateVals(0)) < 32 AndAlso CInt(DateVals(1)) < 13) Then 'month and day check
           'days must be 31 or less
           'months must be 12 or less
           'year can be anything
            MessageBox.Show("Correctly inputted")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid input")
        End If
    End Sub

Thanks alot for your big help...
Works like a charm... ;)
