Hi Gregorio,

Formating controls in .NET is very different. Look at a prior message #670154 where it is explained how to format and parse values entered into controls.

Replace the information in the method to handle the formating with the following:

cevent.Value = Regex.Replace((string) cevent.Value, "(\d{3})(\d{2})(\d{4})", "$1-$2-$3");
