Hi

In a wpf project I have this XAML code

    <Control x:Name="control" Margin="10" Height="100" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Width="100" Template="{DynamicResource loadingAnimation}" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
</Grid>
</Window>

and the following code behind on the window

public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();

        }


        private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
                VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Loading", true);
        }

        private void Button2_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Normal", true);
        }
    }

However, when I click the first button (button1) the state change is not being triggered. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
