Answer 2

Try setting the maskedTextBox.TextMaskFormat property to MaskFormat.ExcludePromptAndLiterals

Answer 3

Based on what I found here you can set the TextMaskFormat-Property to MaskFormat.ExcludePromptAndLiterals. That should be you solution.

The MaskFormat-Enumeration holds some "options" for the MaskedTextBox.
They are:

1. ExcludePromptAndLiterals Return only text input by the user.
2. IncludeLiterals Return text input by the user as well as any literal characters defined in the mask.
3. IncludePrompt Return text input by the user as well as any instances of the prompt character.
4. IncludePromptAndLiterals Return text input by the user as well as any literal characters defined in the mask and any instances of the prompt character.

The default is IncludeLiterals
