Project Description
WinRT XAML does not support behaviors out of the box. This project tries to fill the gap for people who really need behaviors to get cracking in XAML for Windows 8 apps.
The work in this project is primarily based on
this article, although things have moved on from there: the latest version supports data binding and the memory leak has been plugged with the help of my initial two co-developers: Geert van Horrik and
Filip Skakun. On September 17 2012 András Velvárt joined to add a simple form of Blend Support
(NuGet package v1.0.2)
The process of porting behaviors from Windows Phone 7 to WinRt can be see in action

Note: on August 17 2012 changeset 18697 fixed an important bug that potentially hangs your application on startup, navigating to a new page or displaying a control previously not shown or loaded.
As of August 18 2012 WinRtBehaviors is also available as a
NuGet package
