WatermarkedTextBox for Silverlight 2 Beta 2

  • Artikkeli

One breaking change you may have noticed between Silverlight 2 Beta 1 and Beta 2 is that WatermarkedTextBox is no longer available in the Silverlight SDK (System.Windows.Controls.Extended.dll). 

We decided to remove the control because in a future version of Silverlight, we will be adding a “Watermark” property to TextBox. Given this upcoming change, it does not make sense to have "WatermarkedTextBox" as a separate control, so we decided to remove the control from Silverlight 2.

Kathy has all the details on her blog, but you can download the WatermarkedTextBox source code and unit test here.

    Sorry for bringing that up again, but in my opinion "[...] a TextBlock whose visibility is bound to the IsEmpty property of an overlaid transparent TextBox [...]" is just dirty and I prefer to drop the feature than to implement it that way. Cheers, Matt
