I've defined my DataSet using the Server Explorer tool (dragging and dropping all the different tables that I'm interested in). The DataSet is able to access the server and dat...
I currently have the following red border, signifying invalid entry, around textboxes in an application. It just doesn't look right to me, it has square borders around rounded corners and the drop shadow is the wrong colour.

I am using the templates for prism by David Hill and each application module contains a App.xaml file. I was sure that each module as it was loaded would create the App object (startup object in properties) and then call the application_startup() event. However, this does not seem to be happening?
