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

Experimenting with this i finally found an easier solution to this.

STEP 1:

Search the line that is binding your maskedtextbox (mine's called "mTFecha") in your Form.Designer.cs. i.e:

 // mTFecha
 // 
 this.mTFecha.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", this.listaAnimalesOfertadosBindingSource, "F_peso", true);

STEP 2:

Apply a minor hack:

this.mTFecha.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", this.listaAnimalesOfertadosBindingSource, "F_peso", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnValidation, "  /  /"));

You're Done!
