DegText - A Custom Control for .Net

Version: 2009/08

DegText is a custom control that can be used in .Net applications.   It provides a text input box that is pre-configured for input and display of latitude and longitude (although it can also be used as simple degrees and minutes without a latitude or longitude indicator).  All input validation and display formatting is managed within the control.  Options include number of decimal places in the minutes and whether it is latitude, longitude or neither.
