I would like to have a storyboard started, whenever the value of MyCounterchanges.
With a DataTrigger I only can trigger on a specific value.

<DataTemplate.Triggers>
    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=MyCounter}" Value="Doesn't matter">
            <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource myStoryboard}"/>
    </DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>

You can use an EventTrigger with the TargetUpdated event to trigger the storyboard instead of a DataTrigger. See here for an example.
