safmaskedtext X vs U ?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

In VB.NET safmaskedtext control, when to use Xs or Us?

Here is the description from tutorial. I can't find difference because both fields are char type.

'Each SAF Masked Text field must have a mask specified for it. In this project,

two fields are being used from the customer table. The CustId field is a 10

character field so use 10 capital Us for the mask. The Name is an alphanumeric

field and is 30 characters long. Use 30 capital Xs for the mask.'

    Hi  DYNDEV,

    Both have the same functionality but the only difference is, U- generates the data in Upper case but  in X property you type your desired alpha numeric.

    Thanks,
