Hi,

This is known framework limitation of SIlverlight. When a DataTemplate that defines any triggers is used to create content by invoking DataTemplate.LoadContent, the elements in the generated visual subtree lose the trigger logic. A possible MVVM-friendly workaround that you can use is to wrap the logic in an attached behavior that internally handles the event. Would this approach be acceptable to you?
