Blend for Visual Studio makes it easy to define visual states for Windows
platform applications. In this session you’ll learn the basics of declaring and
using visual states in XAML based applications. You’ll see that you can do visual
state management within your view model, making it possible to reuse the same
logic across multiple platforms.
