I'm just beginning to learn about asp.net and need some help. I'm creating a web page with server side text boxes. I'd like to have some formatting associated with each one. For example, I'm building a financial calculator. One of the fields or textboxes will have a dollar amount. If the user enters "300000", as soon as they tab out I'd like the system to instantly change the format to "$300,000.00". I'm not seeing any input format that can be forced in the properties and I tried a few things with the Format method but have not been successful. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You are going to have to write javascript to handle that. It's not a function of .NET. On the text box you are going to have to call some javascript from the "onChange" client side handler. This script will have to parse and format the string in the textbox to change it to appear as you want.
