How can I find and access to Elements which are bind to an object in XAML ?

Edit : Let’s say I have a EmployeeViewModel which is assigned to EmployeeView‘s DataContext and a EmployeeModel inside my EmployeeViewModel, I want to know which properties of my model bounded to View’s Framework Elements (Controls) also I want to have an access to each control bounded to my model properties.

    UPDATE: In light of the question being clarified by SaberAmani in that he is trying to add validation to his models and show a validation summary..see the links below.

    For reference for people that want to discover Bindings:

    You don’t mention if your XAML is in WPF, Silverlight, Metro or Phone7 (thus you may be more restricted in what you can do).

    There seem to be a few possible ways to do what you want:

    1. Reflection
    2. MarkupObject / MarkupWriter
    3. TypeDescriptor+DependencyPropertyDescriptor
    4. Custom Binding Markup Extension

    Take a look at this link.

    He uses reflection and suggests this is the classical way to do it…but also mentions MarkupWriter as another possibility. NOTE: the reflection method doesn’t discover Attached Properties which may have bindings.

    Here are some links that use MarkupWriter…this would allow you to discover the attached properties.
