I know we can use VisualStateManager.GoToState(this,"SomeState1",true); to enter into SomeState1 , but now how to go back to the base state, like no state, the state where the control was loaded in. VisualStateManager.GoToState(this,"base",true); // OR VisualStateManager.GoToState(this,"",true); // OR VisualStateManager.GoToState(this,null,true); The problem is if there is no such way to go back to the initial or base state then I will have to always create a first state and in the contructor goto the first state in the start of control. I didnt find any documentation, so I am trying all

How do you bind the VisualStateManager state of a control to a property in you viewmodel? Can it be done? aL3891 Actually you can. The trick is to make an Attached property and add a property changed callback that actually calls GoToState : public class StateHelper { public static readonly DependencyProperty StateProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached( "State", typeof( String ), typeof( StateHelper ), new UIPropertyMetadata( null, StateChanged ) ); internal static void StateChanged( DependencyObject target, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args ) { if( args.NewValue != null )
