Hi,
You can use MaskTextBox like this

But I suggest, you better use DateTimePicker control as you will be not worry weather user has entered correct date value or not. You can use like this

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
// Display the date as "26/02/2013".
dateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
}
