Bind nullable DateTime to MaskedTextBox

Question

I have a masked text box bound to a nullabe datetime, but when the date is blanked out, the validation on the masked text box won\'t complete. Is there a way to force this

Answer 1

I use this with maskedtextbox for datetime type

this.txtDateBrth.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsAgent, "DateBrth", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged, null, "dd/MM/yyyy");

if need null date value, use nullable datetime type in class declaration :

private DateTime? _DateBrth;
        public DateTime? DateBrth
        {
            get { return _DateBrth; }
            set { _DateBrth = value; }
        }
