Windows 8 Metro: Implementing Validation

Question

I just googled for about 2 hours and didn\'t find anything.

Given the following scenario:

public class Person
{
    [Required]
    public string Name

I added something to the WinRT XAML Toolkit. It's called TextBoxValidationExtensions and allows you to define the validation like this:

The formats are currently defined as:

[Flags]
public enum ValidTextBoxFormats
{
    Any = 0,
    NonEmpty = 1,
    Numeric = 2,
    NonEmptyNumeric = 3
}

The entire code is a bit too long to share here. You can take out the code from CodePlex and modify to your liking - add new validation rules, modify default brushes etc.
