C# Masked Text Box Border

Question

I'd like to display a red border around my masked text box when the user enters incorrect values, but there isn't a border setting for a masked text box. Does anyone have any workarounds for this?

As always, thanks for any help.

Put the textbox inside a panel and set the border of the panel, and set the Dock of the textbox to Fill.

I was hoping for something a little less of a hack than that, but I appreciate the input regardless. I may have to do this if there's no other way.

If you have a lot of controls like that, you can make a user control, that simply exposes all the attributes you want.

Could you be a little bit more specific? I'm not too familiar with these data types. You have a link I can do some reading at perhaps?
