For form controls whose
values are of data type integer or float,
you can use the Format property of the control to specify how the value should
appear when displayed on the page. When using the Format property, there are
two main characters that make up the format mask:
| 0 |
Represents
a digit that is required |
| # |
Represents an optional
digit or space |
The following table shows some example
usage of both characters. If the format mask contains other characters other
than 0 and #, they are interpreted literally and appear in the displayed value
as-is.
