Data types
WebInput supports three data types to cover all your bases: numeric, datetime, and
string. Display mode supports numeric and datetime data types, while the remaining
input modes support all three data types.
Bound and unbound
WebInput supports both Bound and Unbound modes. Control-level data binding is not
supported because the data that is processed is a simple data (not a list) and does
not expose DataSource and DataMember properties. To set data in the WebInput.NET
control, set the Value properties to a valid data field’s value.
Value and text
The Value property is responsible for returning and accepting a value with a specific
DataType. When a value is assigned to the Value property, WebInput will automatically
adjust the FormatType and the MaskType (when Display Format or Edit
Format is enabled) as well as reflecting the Text property. The Text property represents
a value that has already been formatted, validated and masked while the Value property
represents the value in the original DataType, in unformatted, unmasked format.
