Hi,

I have a control template in one of my pages and i am assigning this template to my textbox's Validation.ErrorTemplate property. The following code would give you a better view.

<ControlTemplate x:Key="ValidationErrorTemplate">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
                <AdornedElementPlaceholder/>
                <Image Name="ValidizorImage" Stretch="None" Source="validizor.gif" ToolTip="{Binding [0].ErrorContent}" ToolTipService.InitialShowDelay="0" ToolTipService.ShowDuration="60000"/>
            </StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>

The above template sets the image at the end of the textbox which is having the error. This template is used as below.

<TextBox Grid.Column="5" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="txtemail" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Margin="0,1,20,1" Validation.ErrorTemplate="{StaticResource ValidationErrorTemplate}"  />

My question here is

I want to move this control template outside of this page so that i can use it across the application.

I tried putting the exact same code of the control template in a user control say "ErrorUC" and using it as below

TextBox1.SetResourceReference
(System.Windows.Controls.Validation.ErrorTemplateProperty, new ErrorUC());

On running the above code i learnt that "AdornedElementPlaceholder" can be used only in templates and not in user controls. If i comment the same i am not getting the desired result.

Can anyone please help! Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Samar
