+Module Name:
+- AdminWarningPlaceholder
+
+Abstract:
+- The AdminWarningPlaceholder is a control used to fill space in a pane and
+  present a warning to the user. It holds on to a real control that it should be
+  replaced with. It looks just like a ContentDialog, except it exists per-pane,
+  whereas a ContentDialog can only be added to take up the whole window.
+- The caller should make sure to bind our PrimaryButtonClicked and
+  CancelButtonClicked events, to be informed as to which was pressed.
