OK, so we've been through quite a series of iterations and refactoring for something simple: triggering a story board animation based on an event somewhere else. We used dependency and attached properties, we used custom behaviors, and now we're going to do it completely "out of the box."

There is no code-behind and in fact the only XAML I edit is for the list boxes (sorry, I know there's a data tab but I still code HTML in notepad).
