Hi,

I just upgraded my SL app to Cslalight 3.8.1. I found that PropertyStatus does not show the Busy or Error icons. I also try to runs the SimpleApp sample, change the NameTextBox's Text to be Empty (that will cause broken rules) but the PropertyStatus still does not show the Error icon. Did I miss something or there is new PropertyStatus's behaviors in 3.8.1?

That sample might be broken.

There are breaking changes from 3.7.x to 3.8.0 - read the change log.

The most important one with PropertyStatus is that the Property property is now a binding expression:

Property="{Binding Name}"

That was the whole point of 3.8 actually - to take advantage of the new SL3 binding capabilities instead of the workarounds we were forced to invent in SL2.

Thank Rocky. After changing Property="{Binding Name}", everything works fine.

I have a question again. May I translate Property="{Binding Name}" in XAML into code be-hide? I tried to code _propertyStatus.Property = new Binding("Name") with no success.

I got it. The code should be:
_propertyStatus.SetBinding(PropertyStatus.PropertyProperty, new Binding("Name"))

The name PropertyStatus.PropertyProperty made me confusion ^^
