One breaking change you may have noticed between Silverlight 2 Beta 1 and Beta 2 is thatWatermarkedTextBox 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.
Because the update to TextBox will not happen until a future version of Silverlight feel free download and use the WatermarkedTextBox source code and unit test in the mean time. By downloading the source and unit tests you accept the license.
Here is an example on how to use it:
For more information on how to use this control, check out our Beta1 documentation in MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.watermarkedtextbox(VS.95).aspx
In additional to porting the source code & unit test for Beta 1, we also did the following:
- Updated the template to use new features in the framework (i.e. VisualStateManager)
- Bug fixing: When the control has focus, MouseOver state will no longer be active after moving the mouse away from the cotnrol
- Bug fixing: Allow setting BorderBrush correctly
If you run into any problems, let me know! :)
<Editorial Note>
This is also a great example on how to use the new Visual State Manager for Silverlight 2 Beta 2!
Also a special "Thank you" to the WatermarkedTextBox dev Alex Bulankou for porting the source code, updating & fixing the bugs.

Kathy, one quick question: When you say "Future version of SL" do you mean like SL 3 or are we still talking version 2?
Thanks!
..Ben
KathyKam said:
Hi Ben,
"future" means some future version after SL 2.
Thanks,
Kathy

Hope watermark is available on similar controls like ComboBox - this could be exposed via control template or attached property like ToolTip.

Hi Kathy,
I previously upgraded the control for Silverlight 2 beta 2 as well (http://craign.net/2008/06/10/watermarkedtextbox-control-for-silverlight-2-beta-2/) however I never took advantage of the VSM.
Are you going to update the control to use the DefaultStyle and generic.xaml so that it can be styled using a future build of Blend? I was about to blog the updated code when I saw your post on it. Would you like a copy of my changes perhaps?

Kathy, Thanks for providing the same, but i guess we will have to either copy the source code into our projects, or rename the assembly, as it otherwise conflicts with the released System.Windows.Controls.Extended assembly which I would use to work with controls inside of it.

How does this work now?
Source code sln file opens with errors.
I'm trying to follow Scott Guthrie's silverlight tutorial.. but I can't do it with this.
AARGH.

Why you don't built a watermarkedtextbox .dll file cause when I download the zip file above I can't build it, they said it's not my currently using version!
Nagapito said:
The System.Windows.Controls.Extended.Test project misses a reference to the System.Windows.Controls.Extended project.
After adding the reference, the solution builds!

I've just tested my compiled WatermarkedTextBox project with the Silverlight 2.0 RTW assemblies. When I built my Silverlight project with a WatermarkedTextBox inside I get the error:
unknown attribute "Duration" for element "VisualTransition". [Line: 1 Position: 997]
How I can solve this problem?
Cheers zazi
Joshua said:
Hi~
I tried using that.
But it isn't working.
Could you explain to use that control in Silverlight 2 RTW(2.0.31005.0)?
I want to use that control.
Please~
zazi said:
For all who tried to get the WatermarkedTextBox assembly to work with Silverlight 2.0 RTW:
You have to change the "Duration" property of the VisualTransition class in the WatermarkedTextBox.xaml of the project to "GeneratedDuration" - then it will work.
Cheers Zazi
