Answer 1

MaskedEdit might be what you're looking for.

Here is an modified example from the link above:

<ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender
    TargetControlID="TextBox2" 
    Mask="999-999-9999" />

Answer 2

You can use MaskedEdit ajax control..

MaskedEdit is an ASP.NET AJAX extender that attaches to a TextBox control to restrict the kind of text that can be entered. MaskedEdit applies a "mask" to the input that permits only certain types of characters/text to be entered. The supported data formats are: Number, Date, Time, and DateTime.
