| 0 | Digit, required. This element will accept any single digit between 0 and 9.
| 9 | Digit or space, optional.
| # | Digit or space, optional. If this position is blank in the mask, it will be rendered as a space in the Text property. Plus (+) and minus (-) signs are allowed.
| L | Letter, required. Restricts input to the ASCII letters a-z and A-Z. This mask element is equivalent to [a-zA-Z](a-zA-Z) in regular expressions.
| ? | Letter, optional. Restricts input to the ASCII letters a-z and A-Z. This mask element is equivalent to [a-zA-Z](a-zA-Z)? in regular expressions.
| & | Character, required. If the AsciiOnly property is set to true, this element behaves like the "L" element.
| C | Character, optional. Any non-control character. If the AsciiOnly property is set to true, this element behaves like the "?" element.
| A | Alphanumeric, optional. If the AsciiOnly property is set to true, the only characters it will accept are the ASCII letters a-z and A-Z.
| a | Alphanumeric, optional. If the AsciiOnly property is set to true, the only characters it will accept are the ASCII letters a-z and A-Z.
| . | Decimal placeholder. The actual display character used will be the decimal symbol appropriate to the format provider, as determined by the control's FormatProvider property.
| , | Thousands placeholder. The actual display character used will be the thousands placeholder appropriate to the format provider, as determined by the control's FormatProvider property.
| : | Time separator. The actual display character used will be the time symbol appropriate to the format provider, as determined by the control's FormatProvider property.
| / | Date separator. The actual display character used will be the date symbol appropriate to the format provider, as determined by the control's FormatProvider property.
| $ | Currency symbol. The actual character displayed will be the currency symbol appropriate to the format provider, as determined by the control's FormatProvider property.
| < | Shift down. Converts all characters that follow to lowercase.
| > | Shift up. Converts all characters that follow to uppercase.
| | Disable a previous shift up or shift down.
| \ | Escape. Escapes a mask character, turning it into a literal. "\\" is the escape sequence for a backslash.
