# WebMaskEditBindingArgs

This classic mask-edit argument carrier extends `clsObjectBindingArgs` with the target object data type needed by the non-SAIF `WebMaskEdit` binder. That extra type hint tells the binder how to interpret masked editor content when it converts between control text and the bound object property.

## Purpose
- Tell the classic `WebMaskEdit` binder which source-side data type it should convert to and from.
- Keep classic mask-editor configuration on the same argument-object registration path as other binder families.
- Separate non-SAIF mask-edit conversion choices from the SAIF-specific control-property options documented on `SAIFMaskEditBindingArgs`.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Binding.Infragistics103` (embedded/bundled as source, not independently packaged)

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| TargetObejctDataType | `Public ReadOnly Property TargetObejctDataType() As ObjectDataType` | Exposes the source-side data type the binder should honor during conversion. |
| New | `Public Sub New()` | Creates a mask-edit configuration that uses the class default target type. |
| New | `Public Sub New(ByVal inTargetObjectType As ObjectDataType)` | Creates a mask-edit configuration with an explicit target conversion type. |

## Behavioral notes
- The class defaults the target type to `ObjectDataType.String`, matching masked-text scenarios where the control value is persisted as text.
- This type inherits `clsObjectBindingArgs`, so it can still travel through manager overloads that expect standard bind metadata plus a mask-specific conversion hint.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Use `SAIFMaskEditBindingArgs` when the binding must also select a non-default SAIF mask control property.
- The source property type selected here must match the binder's expected conversion path.
