XAML Values
- targetElement
The Name or x:Name of a UIElement that the ValidationSummary is associated with. This syntax assumes that the working data context contains the named element. For more information, see ElementName.
Property Value
Type: System.Windows.UIElement
The UIElement for which validation errors will be displayed in the summary. The default is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Remarks
Dependency property identifier field: TargetProperty
By default, the Target is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and the ValidationSummary displays errors for its parent container. To specify a different container for which the ValidationSummary will display errors, set the Target property. The Target is typically a container that holds other input controls, but can be a reference to any UIElement. You can set the Target in code or in XAML. To set it in XAML, you must use an ElementName binding.
