Cathi,
I just read the message # you referred to a few times (I probably need to try to understand instead of just reading <g>) but not clear about something.
In the message example, I believe, you use a textbox bound to a data. But what if the asp.net form has a textbox not bound to a data field? That is, all you want is that the textbox would appear as " / / " so that user enters a date?

>You need to use the Format and Parse methods. See message #670154 for an explanation. The example is how to format for currency. For dates you would use the ToString("d") instead.

>>What do you do to present a data field in a textbox?
>>I don't see a "native" way to display it as "mm/dd/yyyy".
>>
>>So do you just let the user type the date (maybe indicating with the label that the expected format is 'mm/dd/yyyy'?
>>And then validate the date entry?
