Remarks

The MaskedTextProvider property defines the mask-parsing engine and the masking language used by the MaskedTextBox control. The default provider is the System.ComponentModel.MaskedTextProvider class; however, a custom provider can be specified using the MaskedTextBox(MaskedTextProvider) constructor.

MaskedTextProvider cannot be set directly. However, setting some of the properties of MaskedTextBox - such as Mask, AllowPromptAsInput, AsciiOnly, and Culture - may internally cause the creation of a new MaskedTextProvider.
