How to get raw text from MaskedTextBox?

I have a MaskedTextBox with this mask (999) 999 9999. When user inputs a number the text property would give this to me :

(0881) 444 5445

But I want to save the raw text to database field like this: 08814445445. How can I do that?

Based on what I found here you can set the TextMaskFormat-Property to MaskFormat.ExcludePromptAndLiterals. That should be you solution.

The MaskFormat-Enumeration holds some "options" for the MaskedTextBox.
They are:

  1. ExcludePromptAndLiterals Return only text input by the user.
  2. IncludeLiterals Return text input by the user as well as any literal characters defined in the mask.
  3. IncludePrompt Return text input by the user as well as any instances of the prompt character.
  4. IncludePromptAndLiterals Return text input by the user as well as any literal characters defined in the mask and any instances of the prompt character.

The default is IncludeLiterals
