Setting the Text property will also update the Value property. If the new text can not be parsed into the value type (ValueType) then the Value property will not be updated. However note that the ValueChanged event will still be raised.
Note: As the user enters/modifies contents, the Text and Value properties will be synchronously updated to reflect the current contents. If the user input can not be parsed into the value type, the Text property will be updated however the Value property will retain last parsed value. However in such a case IsValueValid property will return False indicating that the user input is invalid.
