In this episode, Adam Kinney demonstrates how to take advantage of behaviors in Expression Blend 4. He creates several demonstrations using the new DataStore and conditional behavior features in concert with several new behaviors including ChangePropertyAction, ControlStoryBoardAction, SetDataStoreValueAction, and the custom Mouse3DBehavior. Adam also shows how to create a custom behavior using code. Don't miss this episode as Adam discusses how behaviors can make the UI developer's job much easier.

That's all great, but where's my FluidBindProperty behavior? It was in Blend 3 samples, but there's no source for the samples so I can't use it in SL4? Will there be a new version of the samples? With source this time?

Thanks.

Can you please tell us where we can get the source for Oliver Stark's custom behavior? Thanks.

Thanks for providing the link to Oliver Stark's post and access to his source. It would be great to have additional coverage on behaviors.

Thanks Adam. I have actually built a SL4 version by using the code for FluidBindBehavior and related classes but couldn't get it to work. I'll see what happens with the launch tomorrow?

Thanks again.
