Expression Blend 3 - The VSM (GoToState) function

I have been working lately on the Windows 7 multi touch OS on a HP Touchsmart x2 platform trying to rack up a few demo scenarios.

Strangely enough when i tried to work with states in Expression Blend 3 and wire up the code in the code behind for a GoToState with a control, it absolutely dint work.

A lot of msdn'ing' nd googl'in helped me reach this link

It actually will be functional when the "VSM is in the BCL" and for the moment the GoToStateAction behaviour is recommended.

Strange!
