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.
