Commit Focused Element in Silverlight

Question

I need code that will force Silverlight to commit the focused element (in my case a TextBox, but it could be anything). In WPF I use

        public static void CommitFocusedElement() {
        UIElement element = Keyboard.FocusedElement as UIElement;
        if (element != null) {
            TraversalRequest request = new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next);
            FocusNavigationDirection directionBack = FocusNavigationDirection.Previous;
            if (!element.MoveFocus(request)) {                    
                request = new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Previous);
                directionBack = FocusNavigationDirection.Next;
                element.MoveFocus(request);
            }
            if (element.Focusable)
            {
                element.Focus();
            }
            else
            {
                element.MoveFocus(new TraversalRequest(directionBack));
            }
        }
    }

But several parts of this code is not Silverlight compatible. Can anyone point me to a Silverlight alternative?

Thanks.

I'm assuming you want to update the source of a binding. If you're not, you probably should.

BindingExpression expression = textBox1.GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty);
expression.UpdateSource();
