Behaviors and Triggers in Silverlight 4 using System.Windows.Interaction.dll from Blend 4
Since Silverlight 3 we have had the opportunity to work with Behaviors and Triggers. Most of our exposure has been limited to Blend since the bits come from the Blend application. In this presentation, we will analyze both Behaviors and Triggers and then look at what it takes to build a behavior and trigger from scratch. We will also discuss how we can use Behaviors and Triggers to support Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) as well. Finally, we will look at where we can use Behaviors and Triggers in our applications in a practical approach. Instead of just showing simple animations, we will look at how we can use these powerful features to get component and logic re-use as much as possible.
