Can we still use Behaviors in Blend for Visual Studio 2012 RC?

Question

I am creating a XAML project in Blend for Visual Studio 2012 and notice that there is no Behaviors category in the Assets panel, so that I can not find items like ControlStoryboardAction, which I used in Expression Blend 4 to control storyboards.  Has the Behaviors feature/interactivity been removed from Blend for Visual Studio?  Or is it available in a different way?  Or perhaps to come?

Answer 1

The Blend for Visual Studio 2012 RC supports Metro app development only. We currently don't have behaviors for Metro applications.

Thank you-- I am indeed creating a Metro / XAML app--  So if I can't start a Blend storyboard by using behaviors, would the recommended approach be to create an event handler in a code-behind file that calls methods like Begin to run it?

Yes that would be the recommended approach.
