Remarks

The MaskDescriptor abstract class defines the common set of properties that all mask descriptors must implement. You can use mask descriptors to create predefined mask options for use in the UI type editor for the MaskedTextBox. For example, Visual Studio provides predefined masks for data such as the Postal Code, time, different date formats, and telephone number. All predefined masks will be associated with the MaskedTextProvider parsing engine.

You can discover MaskDescriptor types at design time by querying the ITypeDiscoveryService service provider.
