RadDataForm should support DataAnnotations validation attributes defined in MetadataType partial classes.

Since the EditEnding and EditEnded don't always get thrown when the dataform leaves the edit mode, it would be helpful to have an event thrown whenever the dataform's Mode Changes.


(this was already suggested an approved for the silverlight UI)

Reproducible only in .Net 4.5. 

The fix will be available with LIB version 2015.2.817.

// Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadDataForm
private void OnCurrentItemPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
	if (sender != null)
	{

// this causes the exception when called from non-UI thread
// use Dispatcher.Invoke

		this.IsItemChanged = true;
	}

Setting the Content property of DataFormDataField doesn't take any effect. The value should be displayed in the editor are of the data field.

To work this around, you can use a custom data field.

public class CustomDataFormDataField : DataFormDataField
{
	protected override Control GetControl()
	{
		if (this.Content != null)
		{
			return this.Content as Control;
		}
		return base.GetControl();
	}
}

Setting the Content property of DataFormDataField in the AutoGeneratingField event handler doesn't take any effect. The value should be displayed in the editor area of the data field.

Use manually defined data fields or use a dispatcher in the AutoGeneratingField event handler in order to delay the Content setting.

Fixed with LIB version 2014.1.0324.

Resolved with LIB version 2014.1.602.

When you have a child object in your data model the data form should parse through the contents and place them in a group box or something similar.

Allow the DataFormValidationSummary control to be used outside the context of RadDataForm.
