Hi!
I've got a WPF Form on which I want to display a ComboBox. The selection of a value of this ComboBox is required so I need to display e.g. a RedBorder for this ComboBox if no value is selected.
The SelectedItem of the ComboBox is bound to the Property of the corresponding Entity.
The Validation is working - I only need a way to display the error...

Waahnsinn,

Is it a pre-defined verifier, or a customer verifier which is generating the error status that's not being shown by the combobox control?

Could you post some code, so I can see how you're doing this? I can't really tell you what's wrong without being able to see what you're doing.

There are a few differences between DF validation in WPF and either Silverlight or WinForms. You may also want to look at the writeup for this on the DRC: http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/verification-ui#HVerificationwithaWPFUI

You could try something like this to force the validation to display:
 
public void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// we manually fire the bindings so we get the validation initially
cboName.GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty).UpdateSource();
   
}

Hello!

I've attached a Sample (works with the NorthwindIB Database).

I want the combobox to display an error when there is no category selected in the ComboBox.
