FormatString

I am trying to format a social security number displayed on a Win form. The
text box that holds the ssn is bound to a data set. I tried the code below
in the form's OnLoad event; however, it doesn't work.

Binding ssnBinding;
ssnBinding = sSNTextBox.DataBindings["Text"];
ssnBinding.FormatString = "000'-'00'-'0000";
ssnBinding.FormattingEnabled = true;

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What's the deal with the single quotes? Are those really in your format
string? Does it work if you take them out?
