Validation in Silverlight 3
August 26th, 2009
Jesse Liberty returns to the podcast to explain some of the new features found in Silverlight 3. This week, we talk about validation.
What’s New?
Validation was kind of a pain in Silverlight 2. Silverlight 3 has built in features (including template and VSM support) for capturing and displaying validation errors.
Example
A user types text into a TextBox that is only supposed to receive numbers. The data object throws an error and that’s reflected in the appearance of the control.
Surprising Fact
The error states can be completely customized. Would you like a dancing bear to announce the error? No problem.
