<p>I have a database that contains a date and we are using the MaskedEditExtender (MEE) and MaskedEditValidator to make sure the dates are appropriate.  However, we want the Admins to be able to go in and change the data (specifically the date) if necessary.  </p>

<p>How can I have the MEE field pre-populate with the database value when the data is shown on the page?  I've tried to use 'bind' in the 'InitialValue' property but it doesn't populate the textbox.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
