Answer 1

Take a look at the MaskedEditExtender from the AjaxControlToolkit. It might be what you need.

Answer 2

Look at the Ajax Toolkit and use the Masked Edit Extender, its very easy to use :-) http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/MaskedEdit/MaskedEdit.aspx

Answer 3

This jquery plugin works great, and it's very customizable. http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/#demo

Remember, even if the control/plugin you use is very good and limits the user to what you want, you should still verify on the server side because users can bypass your controls with cross-site scripting
