Notice there are additional dependencies added that come from : You have now written an application that switches the image.
Set the StateName to VisualStateGreenLight. Click and drag the GoToStateAction and drop it in the designer over the ButtonGreenLight. Set the StateName to VisualStateYellowLight. Click and drag the GoToStateAction and drop it in the designer over the ButtonYellowLight. Set the StateName to VisualStateRedLight. Click and drag the GoToStateAction and drop it in the designer over the ButtonRedLight. Step 6 – Configure each Button to switch to a VisualState on click In the Objects and Timeline tab, press and hold control and click to select both ImageRedLight and ImageYellowLight. You will see a red outline around the designer and the words: VisualStateGreenLight state recording is on. In the Objects and Timeline tab, press and hold control and click to select both ImageRedLight and ImageGreenLight. You will see a red outline around the designer and the words: VisualStateYellowLight state recording is on. Change the visibility of the images to Hidden. In the Objects and Timeline tab, press and hold control and click to select both ImageYellowLight and ImageGreenLight. 
You will see a red outline around the designer and the words: VisualStateRedLight state recording is on. Step 5 – Set new values for each VisualState Name the VisualStates: VisualStateRedLight, VisualStateYellowLight, VisualStateGreenLight. Click it three times to add three VisualStates. Under the VisualStateGroup you now have another icon with a + sign (the Add state icon) that add a VisualState to the VisualStateGroup. Note: I named mine VisualStateGroupTrafficLights. On the top right of the States tab, click icon that has a + sign to add a VisualStateGroup. Note: Sometimes the States tab is hard to find. In Expression Studio, click on the States tab. Step 4 – Add VisualStates in a VisualStateGroup Your View should now look like this in the Expresion Blend designer. Name each button: ButtonRedLight, ButtonYellowLight, ButtonGreenLight. Remove any margins, heights or widths, and vertical or horizontal alignments from the buttons. Add three buttons to the StackPanel in the right column. 
Click to select the StackPanel in the Objects and Timeline box. Remove any margins, heights or widths, and vertical or horizontal alignments from the StackPanel. Name each Image: ImageRedLight, ImageYellowLight, ImageGreenLight. Note: This assumes that all three of your images are identically sized and properly placed. Note: This is important so the images are always in the same place. Remove any margins, heights or widths, and vertical or horizontal alignments from the images. Add all thee images to the left column. This will make the left column 75% and the right column 25% of the Grid size. Add a column to the default Grid, so there are two columns. We are going to have a simple view for this example with the images on the left and buttons on the right. #EXPRESSION BLEND DOWNLOAD WPF WINDOWS#
Note: If you copy the images using the windows file system, you may have to add the files to the project.
Open your file system and copy or drag your images to this new folder in Expression Blend. Right-click on your project and choose Add new folder. Note: I named this project SwitchImagesWithVisualStates. For this example, we will use Expression Blend 4. 
You can do this in either Visual Studio or Expression Blend. Step 1 – Create a new WPF Application project

It is for Developers because they need to know to not go reinvent the wheel and spend their time writing code to do this. It is for designers because they can do all of this without code. Note: This is for both Developers and Designers. *** This can be done 100% in Expression Blend without using any code at all. Link: I used traffic light images from here: Each image will have either the red, yellow, or green light on. There will be three images of a stop light. For this example, lets think of a stop light during the traffic of your morning commute.
