Autocomplete Watermark Binding Error

[Shengwei]

Hi, 

i have set the watermark for autocompletebox by setting the WatermarkContent, property, it works, however in the visual studio output window i can still see the following errors which i would like to avoid. 


System.Windows.Data Error: 26 : ItemTemplate and ItemTemplateSelector are ignored for items already of the ItemsControl's container type; Type='RadWatermarkTextBox'

System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=WatermarkTextBox'. BindingExpression:Path=ActualWidth; DataItem=null; target element is 'AutoCompleteBoxesWrapPanel' (Name=''); target property is 'Width' (type 'Double')

Any suggestions? 

thanks

Hello Shengwei,

We are aware of the described issue and it has already been logged in our PITS.
You can track its status on the following link:

http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/silverlight/15203

Those errors are appearing because the framework is looking for the binding before the control is completely initialized and after the control is loaded the binding is resolved. These errors in the output should not bother you as they are not interfering with the application.

Hi Duncan,

We moved all of the items from our Public Issue Tracking System to our new Feedback portal. You can find the same item on the following link:
http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/143/Feedback/Details/113663-a-binding-error-is-printed-in-the-output-on-start-up-for-elementname-watermarktex

However the issue is not fixed yet, but as I have explained in my previous post this shouldn't bother you as the binding gets resolved as soon as the control is fully loaded.

Hope this helps.
