Step 1

Add the source code in WebControl Library Project.

Step 2

Analize the source code.

                }
            }
        }

    }
}

Last Step

1. Compile.
2. Customize Toolbox and add reference to assembly.
3. Drag-Drop the TextboxMask control to page.
4. Run the application.

Something appears similar to the figure.
