Thanks for this - very useful.

Would you have an idea how I could customise the DisplayTemplate so that it will always show the "Description" hover button? I want to show data in a read-only form, but also want to allow the user to hover over the "i" button to see the description, however the default control seems to only show this in Edit mode.

Regards

Scott

Nice article. Can you re-post the code file. I cannot open on my pc (invalid file). I want to see source code for load event.

@bill: Pls check if you are accessing DataForm from the namespace 'System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.Toolkit'. If you don't get a reference, download the latest Silverlight 3.0 toolkit from Codeplex.com and check again. Hope it helps!

@bill burrows: It's because the article was written when Silverlight 3 beta was released. Now, when Silverlight 3 is out, there is change to DataForm control. You can have a look at this article, which describes changes in the final release - http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Silverlight-3-RTW-overview.aspx

When I try to adda within my DataForm definition, I get an error saying that "The attachable property "Fields" was not found in type 'DataForm'."

Any idea why this might be the case?

@jsloan: Thank you for reporting that! It seems that ComboBox does not understand what I want to do. That's why I decided to use another approach. I bound the ComboBox directly to a collection of strings which represents the Genres enumeration. Now, it seems to work. The source code is updated with the new changes.

Just tested and the following line in your customized template doesn't appear to work
