does anyone know how to get the visual state manager running in the following code? Even Blend is not helping at all. If I define Visual State Groups and Visual States nothing works or changes.

I am receiving the following exception intermittingly when triggering a storyboard on a user control through a View State.
WinRT information: Cannot resolve TargetProperty (Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color) on specified object
My storyboard is below -
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup>
<VisualState x:Name="Connecting">
<Storyboard RepeatBehavior="Forever">
<ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Bd1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color)">

</ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Border x:Name="Bd1" Height="5" />
</StackPanel>
And how I trigger it
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Connecting", false);
This visual state is generally triggered immediately on UserControl load.
Its failing because there isn't a SolidColorBrush defined on Bd1.
Background is of type Brush so you could initilaise with a SolidColorBrush like so and your animation should work. I added BorderBrush as well as you're animating that and a Width so you can see it on the screen
<Border x:Name="Bd1" Width="200" Height="5" Background="Red" BorderBrush="Red" />
Your border has no default color. Therefore you can´t access it from Storyboard.
This will work:
<StackPanel Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">

For a while, if I take the customization off of the grid (the codeblock above) from my application it works, however, I loose some visual styles, which I don't want to.
I particularly don't understand WHAT in my stylization could make it happen, for I don't fully understand it. Would someone know?
Thanks in advance.

My problem was solved by putting the template code inside the grid definition, not outside, like I was doing.
Highlight entire rows only in Silverlight DataGrid
I'm using silverlight 4 datagrid. I have datagridtextcolumn and also datagrid template column, for them i'm specifying the column with in '*', 'sizetoheader'.
Everything works fine if i have some 20 records in my datagrid, however if my grid have more than 30 records, it's behaving odd. It's like column headers and their columns are not properly aligned, due to this improper alignment, horizontal appears unnecessarily, if i click any of the column header, then everything will be ok. The alignment of column header is exactly with the columns.
This is also happening to me.
In my case, by the moment I set a template to my rows, like this:
<Style TargetType="sdk:DataGridRow">
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>

I have a main datagrid, then an accordion control below it. In one of the accordion items I have another datagrid that binds to the selected item of the first datagrid. Simple xaml is:
<sdk:DataGrid Name="dgMain" ItemsSource="{Binding SomeSource}" />
<toolkit:Accordion>
<toolkit:AccordionItem Header="Details">
<sdk:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=dgMain, Path=SelectedItem.Children}"/>
</toolkit:AccordionItem>
</toolkit:Accordion>
I have VerticalAlignment property of the second grid set to "Stretch" so it stretches as different collection sizes are bound to it, but the problem is it only stretches within the AccordionItem size so if I select a new item in the first grid that has more "Children" then I have to scroll the second grid because the AccordionItem didn't change.
AccordionItem region will only change when i condense and expand it again. Setting VerticalContentAlignment to "Stretch" for the accordion item does not work. I guess because it only triggers this when first expanded.
Does anyone know what else I could try or if I'm missing something. I'd prefer to stick with xaml solution so I can stay MVVM-friendly, but glad to hear everything.
The reason that the AccordionItem doesn't resize properly is because there is a bug in one of its control Parts - ExpandableContentControl. The issue is described here.
I think you can either fix its source code or, more easily, replace this control from its default style with a normal ContentControl. I have included a style here with a normal ContentControl and tested it in the code that #JohnNicholas provided, and it works.

PS. If you want to animate the expanding/collapsing you can just define your own animation in the AccordionItem's Collapsed and Expanded visual states.
It is really a late reply and hope it can be of any help. :)
I had a similar issue long time ago, I think this is what I did. Basically in the size changed event of the inner datagrid, we reinvoke the measure pass of the accordion.
In the inner data grid, attach the size change event as so.
private void InnerDataGrid_SizeChanged(object sender, System.Windows.SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
this.AccordionName.Measure(new Size());
this.AccordionName.UpdateLayout();
}
this code will demonstrate the problem
The accordion in the sub-sub-accordion will not expand when you first expand it. However if you collapse its parent and reaxpand it will show. Alternativley resize the browser window and it will also resize everythign to show it.
this example is a bit contrived but usually i am showing a sub control that also has an accordino to get this problem. There are also problems when you wrap everythign in a scrollviewer But these are probably related to the first.

If I apply a style from the SL 3.0 Toolkit to my application the built in SL 3.0 data validation errors are not displayed on the application edit forms. If I removed the code that applies the toolkit style to the application the SL 3.0 data validation errors appear as per normal SL 3.0 behaviour?
Has anyone else come across this problem?????
Any help is always appreciated.
Cheers

After a bit of research I managed to find the solution to the problem.
A big shout out to Jesse Liberty for this post
Basically the toolkit style control templates do not contain the necessary visual state groups for the SL 3.0 validation to work.
To fix this I copied the required visual state groups and required template markup from the standard control templates to the toolkit control templates.
ie below are the visual state group for the checkbox control.
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ValidationStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Valid"/>
<VisualState x:Name="InvalidUnfocused">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ValidationErrorElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="InvalidFocused">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ValidationErrorElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="validationTooltip" Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsOpen">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<System:Boolean>True</System:Boolean>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
Below is the style for the ValidationErrorElement for a checkbox.
<Border x:Name="ValidationErrorElement" Margin="1" Visibility="Collapsed" BorderBrush="#FFDB000C" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="1" ToolTipService.PlacementTarget="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<ToolTip x:Name="validationTooltip" Template="{StaticResource ValidationToolTipTemplate}" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Placement="Right" PlacementTarget="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
<ToolTip.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Canvas.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="validationTooltip" Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsHitTestVisible">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<System:Boolean>true</System:Boolean>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ToolTip.Triggers>
</ToolTip>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<Grid Height="10" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,-4,-4,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="10" Background="Transparent">
<Path Fill="#FFDC000C" Margin="0,3,0,0" Data="M 1,0 L5,0 A 2,2 90 0 1 7,2 L7,6 z"/>
<Path Fill="#ffffff" Margin="0,3,0,0" Data="M 0,0 L2,0 L 7,5 L7,7"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
You also need to place the control template for Validation tool tip in either a control or application reasource. ie
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ValidationToolTipTemplate">
<Grid x:Name="Root" Margin="5,0" Opacity="0" RenderTransformOrigin="0,0">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="OpenStates">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0"/>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.2" To="Open">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="xform" Storyboard.TargetProperty="X">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.2" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Root" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.2" Value="1"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualTransition>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualState x:Name="Closed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Root" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Open">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="xform" Storyboard.TargetProperty="X">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Root" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="1"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform x:Name="xform" X="-25"/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<Border Margin="4,4,-4,-4" Background="#052A2E31" CornerRadius="5"/>
<Border Margin="3,3,-3,-3" Background="#152A2E31" CornerRadius="4"/>
<Border Margin="2,2,-2,-2" Background="#252A2E31" CornerRadius="3"/>
<Border Margin="1,1,-1,-1" Background="#352A2E31" CornerRadius="2"/>
<Border Background="#FFDC000C" CornerRadius="2"/>
<Border CornerRadius="2">
<TextBlock Margin="8,4,8,4" MaxWidth="250" UseLayoutRounding="false" Foreground="White" Text="{Binding (Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
I hope this helps someone out there.
