What are the values of Transition property of TransitioningContentControl from Silverlight Toolkit? - silverlight

Question

What are the possible values that can take the Transition property of TransitioningContentControl from the Silverlight Toolkit?
That property is string type. I not found any answer, even in the silverlight toolkit official site.

Answer 1

Your options are:
DefaultTransition
Normal
UpTransition
DownTransition
How I found out:
What my VisualStudio ObjectBrowser-Window told me about the TransitioningContentControl:
public string Transition { set; get; }
Member of System.Windows.Controls.TransitioningContentControl
Summary: Gets or sets the name of the transition to use. These
correspond directly to the VisualStates inside the PresentationStates
group.
and
public const string DefaultTransitionState
Member of System.Windows.Controls.TransitioningContentControl
Summary: The name of the state that represents the default transition.
and what opening the default template in Blend told me about the PresentationStates group ... wait a moment... loading blend... keeps crashing... I hate Blend ...now I got it:
<Style x:Key="TransitioningContentControlDefaultStyle" TargetType="TransitioningContentControl">
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="Transition" Value="DefaultTransition"/>
<Setter Property="Template">

<ControlTemplate TargetType="TransitioningContentControl">
