Display ALL Broken Rules

How is everyone else handling the display of broken rules, including the parent and any children? 

We don't use the Error Provider to display errors, but rather we display a pop-up dialog of the broken rules.  We are currently getting ready to move to the 2.0 framework and I was wondering how others are handing this?

We currently use a helper class that was written by someone (not sure who, but thanks!) for version 1.0 of the CSLA Framework.  The class took a business object and, via reflection, built a complete list of rules for the parent and all subsequent children.

We are also looking at create a commerical software package and from a design perspective, were wondering just what is the best way to display broken rules to the end user!

Thanks! d0tnetdude

Look at the error tree control that Xal added to CSLAcontrib.

Thanks Brian!  I'll take a look at that!

If you search this forum you may find an old post of mine where I re-wrote the 1.x AllRules method in 2.0. I prefer having the list of all rules and child rules in one place. So this uses reflection to do it. It also took some interfaces as I recall. Let me know if you find the code.
