SAIFWebMaskEdit

SAIFWebMaskEdit wraps the Infragistics WebMaskEdit control to add two read-only accessors, PhoneValue and TaxIdValue, that return cleaned string values instead of the raw masked text a consuming page would otherwise have to parse itself. PhoneValue strips a dangling phone-extension marker with no digits after it (BR-2), and both accessors return an empty string rather than mask placeholder characters when the field was left untouched (BR-3). Consuming code reads these properties server-side after postback rather than relying on client-side script.

Purpose

• Provide a cleaned phone-number value that omits a dangling extension marker when no extension digits were entered (BR-2).
• Provide a cleaned tax-ID value, and ensure both accessors return empty string (not mask placeholder text) for an untouched field (BR-3).

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Presentation.Web.Controls.V2
• Assembly/package: SAIF.BOF.Presentation.Web.Infragistics103 (source bundled into this package)*

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
PhoneValue	Public ReadOnly Property PhoneValue As String	Returns the cleaned phone number, stripping the trailing extension marker when no extension digits follow it, or empty string for an untouched field; see SAIFWebMaskEdit value accessors.
TaxIdValue	Public ReadOnly Property TaxIdValue As String	Returns the raw tax-ID text, or empty string for an untouched field (BR-3).
PHONE_EXT	Public Const PHONE_EXT As String = "x"	The literal extension-marker character PhoneValue checks for when deciding whether to strip a dangling extension indicator.

Inherited public members

Members in this section are inherited from Infragistics.WebUI.WebDataInput.WebMaskEdit, the Infragistics v10.3 vendor base class this control wraps.

Member	Signature	Purpose
RawText	Public ReadOnly Property RawText As String	The unformatted raw text entered into the mask, including any mask placeholder characters; read by both PhoneValue and TaxIdValue (via RawText.Trim.Length) to detect an untouched field.
Text	Public Overridable Property Text As String	The mask-formatted display text of the control's current value; read by PhoneValue's getter (via Text.Trim) to build the returned phone string, and returned directly by TaxIdValue when the field is non-empty.
EditMask	Public Property EditMask As String	The Infragistics input mask pattern applied to the control (for example, a phone or tax-ID format mask).
PromptChar	Public Property PromptChar As Char	The placeholder character Infragistics displays for unfilled mask positions; the character PhoneValue/TaxIdValue are designed to avoid returning for an untouched field.
ClientID	Public ReadOnly Property ClientID As String (from System.Web.UI.Control)	The rendered client-side element ID of the control.

Behavioral notes

• PhoneValue catches System.Data.StrongTypingException and returns empty string on that specific error path rather than propagating the exception.
• Both accessors first check RawText.Trim.Length = 0 to detect an untouched field before doing any further parsing.

Constraints and usage notes

• Version-coupled to Infragistics35.WebUI.WebDataInput.v10.3 (version 10.3.20103.2120).
• These are server-side property getters read by consuming code after postback — unlike the other three types in this library, no client-side script is registered.
