The MaskedTextBox is useful to display, but more importantly to accept, text in a very specific format, like a telephone number.

The .NET Framework includes two time-related types: DateTime and TimeSpan. The DateTime represents an instant in time as denoted by a date and time, while the TimeSpan represents a period of time. If you want to specify a time of the day you would normally use a DateTime object and simply ignore the date part, which is what MS Access does. For instance, you can get the current time like this:

MessageBox.Show("The current time is " & Date.Now.ToLongTimeString())

Note that in VB the Date type and the DateTime type are the same thing. They are simply the VB type and the .NET type, just like Integer and Int32.
