Hi Ricardo,

You would have to do it the hard way.
This piece of code will accomplish what you need but it does not check for
anything out of the ordinary (like the user edits the text causing / to
appear when you don't want it etc) It uses the TextChanged event to
detect the number of characters entered and inserts / when needed.

private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(t.TextLength == 2 || t.TextLength == 5)
t.Text += "/";
t.SelectionStart = t.TextLength;
}
