 bool Set(System::String ^ input);
public bool Set (string input);

Public Function Set (input As String) As Boolean

Parameters

input
String

The String value used to set the formatted string.

Returns

Boolean

true if all the characters were successfully set; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Remarks

The Set method clears the existing contents of the formatted string and then applies the mask against the input string to update the contents of the formatted string.

The following conditions are considered errors. When an error occurs, the formatted string remains unaltered and Set returns false.

  • There are not enough editable positions in the formatted string to hold the contents of the replacement string.

  • One of the replacement character values is not valid because it is not printable or does not match its corresponding mask element.
