Hi Dave,

Yes, this is the funny thing here, the Button control does not have this IsEnabled property because it does NOT derive from ContentControl. We hope this will change in future releases of Silverlight.

And of course I see the error right after I push "Add Comment". I thought that UserControl derived from ContentControl but apparently it doesn't. Fun times.

Where do you see the IsEnabled property? My controls in SL2 derive from UserControl (which derives from... up the chain) but IsEnabled isn't available. MSDN also says it's not available: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.usercontrol_members(VS.95).aspx

Have you actually used it? I see other blog posts where they have examples that are working, but I'm at a loss of how.
