I am watching a video from Silverlight.net website about DataForm. There is no source code download, so I am typing in the code as I watch the video. Unfortunately I can't replicate what is shown in the video. there are several issues. I am going to list out only the first 2

1) The presenter shows a simple class inside DataForm that has a icon at the very top of the data form that upon clicking it makes the DataForm editable and a save button appears at the bottom. I did'nt get the same thing when I ran my code against Silverlight 4 or Silverlight 3

2) Than he goes on to show that if you mark your class [Bindable(false)] you shouldn't see anything in your page. I did that but my form still shows all the properties

I stopped after these 2 issues. If the features being talked about in this video were deprecated in the final release than this video should have been taken off the site. can anyone help me with this??

A: 

There are differences in Silverlight 4 from previous version with the DataForm. If you are using SL4 then perhaps I can help:

(1) Add CommandButtonsVisibility="All" to your DataForm XAML. Explore CommandButtonsVisibility for other options.

(2) I have this same problem. Perhaps someone can shed light on this?
