I am using solution instead of Kathy’s as it does not overwrite the System.Windows.Control.Extended dll that ships with 2.0 but I am running into a problem. Here is what I did.

- I was able to sucessful build the project after removing the strong name verification and installing it in the gac.

- Using the second tutorial from Scott’s blog, I was able to include a WatermarkedTextbox using your namespace, but now I get a compile time error saying “Length cannot be less than 0. Parameter name:length”

Can you please help me figure out what is causing this problem? Thanks

I can see it in the Object Browser, I have made a reference to it, but I get a ” The type ‘CraigN_Windows_Controls:WatermarkedTextBox’ was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built” error when using it in the .xaml file

Kathy Kam has released an updated control over here http://blogs.msdn.com/kathykam/archive/2008/06/23/watermarkedtextbox-for-silverlight-2-beta-2.aspx.

The “type not found error” is caused by a slight error in the assembly reference shown above. I believe it should read:

xmlns:CraigN_Windows_Controls=”clr-namespace:CraigN.Windows.Controls;assembly=CraigN.Windows.Controls”

I’ve actually detected a bug in the code I’ve posted. I’ll update it soon.
