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.

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

Strange!
