Option 1

If it’s always 3 text boxes, you could just write static code for each text box, like this:

'EDIT: This code now checks for the existence of a second or third value to avoid
'out of bounds errors
Dim originalValue As String = "01/02/03"
Dim splitBySlash As String() = originalValue.Split("/")

txt1.Text = splitBySlash(0)
If splitBySlash.Length > 1 Then txt2.Text = splitBySlash(1)
If splitBySlash.Length > 2 Then txt3.Text = splitBySlash(2)

Option 2

If you have a variable number of text boxes based on the slashes, you’ll have to create them at run time and add them to the parent control, like this:

'You can enter as many (or few) slashes as you like in this code, it will automatically
'adjust the text boxes created as necessary.
Dim originalValue As String = "01/02/03" 'could go on like /04/05/etc
Dim splitBySlash As String() = originalValue.Split("/")

For Each value As String In splitBySlash
    Dim newTxt As New TextBox()
    newTxt.Text = value

    yourParentControl.Controls.Add(newTxt)
