With xaml (notice the binding on dictionary entry Attributes[Welcome]):
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"> <StackPanel> <TextBlock FontSize="36" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Purple" Text="{Binding Attributes[Welcome]}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" /> <TextBox Text="{Binding Attributes[Welcome],Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"></TextBox> <TextBox Text="{Binding Attributes[Welcome],Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"></TextBox> <TextBox Text="{Binding Test, Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"></TextBox> <TextBox Text="{Binding Test, Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"></TextBox> </StackPanel> </Grid>When the view model implements IDataErrorInfo as:
public string Error
{
get { return ""; }
}
public string this[string columnName]
{
get {
return "Compulsory Error";
}
}
Only columnName == "Test" is ever passed. And therefore I get the following application:
How can I validate the values being set for the Attributes Dictionary?
I figured that I needed to implement IDataErrorInfo on the Dictionary rather than the viewmodel containing the dictionary. But since IDataErrorInfo member's conflict with IDicitonary. I ended up implementing INotifyDataErrorInfo.
