Windows Phone data behaviors

  • Article

In Microsoft Expression Blend for Windows Phone, you can use data behaviors to interact with data in a variety of ways, including adding and modifying properties by using a data store, applying visual state changes based on data comparisons, and triggering specific actions based on changes to the data store.

For more information about the data store, see Add or modify a data store.

The InvokeCommandAction and CallMethodAction actions are particularly useful when you are working with Views and ViewModels.
