ErrorDialog - subclass/extend request

Turntwo posted on Monday, May 25, 2009

Hi,

  I want to add some functionality to the WPF ErrorDialog control (trapping for certain exceptions and altering the behavoir/message accordingly), but it doesn't appear the ErrorDialog was built to be subclassed.  I tried building my own version (I really don't want to modify CSLA code if I can help it, since I like to get the benefit of updates without having to go through a merge process), but the CslaDataProvider only works properly with a Csla ErrorDialog (it doesn't register unless it is a Csla ErrorDialog). 
  Am I missing a way to do this?  Or can the ErrorDialog be enhanced in a future version to allow for this?  I like the concept alot, but would like more flexibility to customize the dialog. 

Thanks.

That is a good point, the CslaDataProvider should probaby use an interface to interact with the dialog control so it is easier to create your own. I'll add this to the wish list.
