The MaskedTextBox.MaskedTextProvider property defines the mask-parsing engine and the masking language used by the System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox control. The default provider is the System.ComponentModel.MaskedTextProvider class; however, a custom provider can be specified using the MaskedTextBox.#ctor(System.ComponentModel.MaskedTextProvider) constructor.
MaskedTextBox.MaskedTextProvider cannot be set directly. However, setting some of the properties of System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox—such as MaskedTextBox.Mask, MaskedTextBox.AllowPromptAsInput, MaskedTextBox.AsciiOnly, and MaskedTextBox.Culture—may internally cause the creation of a new MaskedTextBox.MaskedTextProvider.
