I still have this issue in WPF4. Although now GoToElementState exists on VisualStateManager, so you can us it instead of using the Blend ExtendedVisualStateManager if you are working directly in VisualStudio.

it doesn’t work because GoToState accepts a Control, and a Grid (your LayoutRoot) in your case, is not a Control.

Thanks!

This solved problem I had in my Silverlight 4 project. I have found so far that using WPF and Silverlight 4.0 VisualStateManager.GotoState() method really behaves quite unpredictable so most of the time I avoided using it. Thanks for great workaround.

Silly me. I should use sender as FrameworkElement. All Fine!

It doesn’t work for me. Nothing happens inside the control.
VisualStateManager.GoToElementState returns false

Actually the following works for me currently:

VisualStateManager.GoToElementState(this.LayoutRoot as FrameworkElement, “MyState”, true);

Note the GoToElementState(..) instead of GoToState(..)

Thanks again!
