Question

I have a toggle button in my silverlight application as follows:

<ToggleButton Content="ToggleButton" Margin="0,30,0,0" Style="{StaticResource ChkToggleButton}" />

The toggle currently is changing visual states on toggle and nothing more.
However, I need to bind each of the toggle with a different command. For eg: On button press1, run command1 and on button press again, run command2.

How can this be done?

Use Triggers for such purposes:

<ToggleButton Content="ToggleButton" Margin="0,30,0,0" Style="{StaticResource ChkToggleButton}">
  <i:Interaction.Triggers>
        <i:EventTrigger EventName="Checked">
             <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding FirstCommand}"
                                    CommandParameter="{Binding SomeParameter}" />
        </i:EventTrigger>
        <i:EventTrigger EventName="Unchecked">
             <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding SecondCommand}"
                                    CommandParameter="{Binding AnotherParameter}" />
        </i:EventTrigger>
  </i:Interaction.Triggers>
</ToggleButton>  

If you don’t have Interactivity you can get it by installing Expression Blend SDK or as a NuGet package.
