When I call GoToState in my custom control, and parse in ‘false’ for useTransitions, I still get my animation. It doesn’t skip to the end of the storyboard.

Am I missing some obvious setting on the visual state or storyboard?

looks like angular brackets were stripped from my post…. i’ll try again:

* Comment out a line in each of the Change Notification Handlers (args.Source = weather;) – which didn’t seem to be used anyway

* Change vsm:VisualTransition Duration to GeneratedDuration

* Move the Storyboard blocks out of Grid.Resources and into their respective vsm:VisualState tags

Hi Karen,
Great Tutorial- needs to be updated for SL RC0 though:

* Comment out a line in each of the Change Notification Handlers (args.Source = weather;) – which didn’t seem to be used anyway

* Change to GeneratedDuration

* Move the blocks out of and into their respective tags

works like a charm!

I’m not understanding the method OnConditionPropertyChanged. Can you explain it more? It doesn’t look like args are used below, but probably a deeper question is why was this callback needed in the first place?

private static void OnConditionPropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
WeatherControl weather = d as WeatherControl;
var newValue = (Condition)e.NewValue;
RoutedEventArgs args = new RoutedEventArgs();
args.Source = weather;
weather.OnWeatherChange(null);
}
