				&lt;span&gt;The Visual State Manager is on a &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; short list of features that exist on Silverlight today but do not exist on Desktop WPF. This short screencast introduces the Visual State Manager and illustrates the value it adds to the Silverlight platform. It shows how the Visual State Manager can be used in control templates as well as full application screens.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This screencast demonstrates using Silverlight 2 and LINQ to XML to create an Image Search application. We even learn a little Expression Blend and .Net 3.5 in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The source code is available and this simple has been updated to work with Silverlight 2 Beta 2 and .Net 3.5 SP1. Download Here:&lt;br /&gt;
