Issue with Masked Textbox

I asked how to format a Textbox to accept only numbers but was adviced to use a Masked Textbox and set the Mask Property but doing this i have encountered some Problems

1) The masked textbox requires a maximum number of data a user can type to be set, but i want the user to be able to enter unlimited data

2) The masked textbox shows an Underscore

Underscore

how do i remove this??

Any help will be appreciated sorry if this question is not well structured

You could use a regular textbox and just handle the KeyPressed Event. This will also prevent Copy and paste, This was taken from another post here, How do I make a textbox that only accepts numbers? . 

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (!char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) 
        && !char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) 
        && e.KeyChar != '.')
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

By default MaskedTextbox's PromptChar is set to "_" (underscore). Simply change its PromptChar property to " " (space)
