Over at  John Gossman's Blog (Tales from the Smart Client), he has attached quite a neat compilable source project for the latest version of WPF. It's a prototype implementation of the Silverlight Visual State Manager for WPF.. The project includes a neat custom sample control that is shows off just what the visual state manager does so well, control visual states from Karen Corby. Now Karen's control sample does give you control of the "weather" sort of, but much like Seattle itself, there are probably two states of four which are most visually prevalent. It's a neat project either way. Don't expect one-to-one correspondence with Silverlight. This is because WPF has many more "triggers" than Silverlight can possibly have. It's a neat control sample and can get you prototyping state management right away. It also shows the power of dependency properties in WPF/Silverlight managed code..
