Silverlight Application" code sample from here: http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/code-sample-simple-silverlight

I know that sample isn't meant to be a perfect example of how to write an app, but it demonstrates my problem easily so I'll use it. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

Launch the sample app, connect, log in, and fetch data
Clear out one of the Company name fields
You'll get some client-side errors in the validation summary control (saying Company Name is required) but this doesn't stop you from trying to save (which is good for me).
Click Save
The save throws an exception but for me that just turns into a JavaScript error I can ignore (I later ended up updating the code to call MarkErrorAsHandled so I could examine things in the debugger)
Click Save a couple more times (saving will get slower and slower - the number of validations errors seems to increase exponentially)
Try to click on another row so the UI 'catches up' to all the validations errors.
The validation summary control will now have 4 errors but one of the errors will have a ton of duplicate messages. And if you click back to the invalid cell, the tooltip will show a ton of errors as well. And it's not just a UI issue because when I debugged into the code, I see that the EntityAspect thinks it has a ton of validation errors as well:

Hi stephenmcd1;

Yes, this does sound like a bug where the same VerifierResult will keep on accumulating after a call to SaveChanges. I was able to repro it without using a UI as well. Let me confirm this behavior and file a bug report as necessary. I'll get back to you either way.

For the time being, the workaround is to clear the validation errors manually with EntityAspect.ValidationErrors.Clear() before the next call to SaveChanges.

This is confirmed as a bug. I have filed a bug report for this. Please let me know if you require an EAP and I will send it over to you once it's ready.

I am also receiving this issue... Is there an ETA on a fix?
