I am working out of VS2010. Using C# web forms. I have a textbox on a web form and I am trying to get it to display commas when a user enters numbers. In AJax there was a maskedtextbox control for this. Is there a way to display commas in a textbox that is on a web form? If so, can someone show me how? Thanks.

Ok. Where will I put this code? And will I have to do this one time for all textboxes or do it for each textbox?

Solution 2

for masking number with comma use this link http://jsfiddle.net/anomepani/G3uKz/1/[^]

and to remove comma when you store to db use code behind string replace method

C#

string value=txtValue.Text.Replace(",","");

arvind mepani, The code you gave me about the string value, Where should that code be placed? In the Submit button code or Page load?

arvind mepani, I looked at the website you gave me and tested it out. It works but if I put in 1800 in the textbox it reads 180,0. Is there a way to have the code to check the numbers and then put int the commas?

Look into localization.

If you set the locale to for example sv-SE for your UI, commas will be expected for decimal values.
