Question

I am attempting to make ValidationSummary in Silverlight scrollable. It does not work and I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

When wrapped in ScrollViewer, the validationsummary is not shown.

    </ScrollViewer>
    <TextBox Name="txtName" Text="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnExceptions =True, NotifyOnValidationError=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=Explicit}"
             Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" 
             Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="185" />

    <TextBox Name="txtAge" 
             Text="{Binding Age, Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnExceptions=True, NotifyOnValidationError=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=Explicit}"
             Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" 
             Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left"  VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />

    <Button Content="Save" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" 
            Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="butSave" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Click="butSave_Click"  />

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Name="textBlock1" Text="Name" 
               VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="22,0,0,0" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="2"  Name="textBlock2" Text="Age" 
               VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="34,0,0,0" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
</Grid>

When you remove the validationsummary from ScrollViewer it shows.

ScrollView not required, was able to accomplish the same effect by setting maxheight property on the ValidationSummary
