Textbox Date Separator in real time

Melger

Hi everyone, I've been trying to insert a Separator in my date textbox in real time. Tried a few things and just not coming right. I'm still learning and very new in windows forms using C#. I got a textbox and want to insert "20211008" and want the output "2021/10/08" on real time. Please can someone point me in to the right direction? Thank you in advance.

Try this one DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, "yyyyMMdd", null).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd

approach one
Use the MaskedTexdBox control instead of TextBox and simply set its mask to ShortDate.

approach two
You can also use datetime picker,

approach one is better for your scenario.
