Call Storyboard in Page_Load

09-04-2009 3:58 PM |

I have created an animation that is has "border" as it target. Now if I want to play this animation in the Page_Load event I have tried the following but that gives compileerror when running the code.

It point to "s.Begin()" and says that

Cannot resolve TargetProperty

(UIElement.Render Transform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.X) on specified object.

	<UserControl.Resources>
		<Storyboard x:Name="Storyboard1">
			<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.X)">
				<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00" Value="-16"/>
				<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:01" Value="1"/>
			</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
			<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)">
				<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00" Value="-4"/>
				<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:01" Value="-4"/>
			</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
		</Storyboard>
	</UserControl.Resources>


        void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Storyboard s = this.Resources["Storyboard1"] as Storyboard;
            Storyboard.SetTarget(s, this);
            s.Begin();
        }

You were right that line wasn´t needed. So now the page does open in the browser and the animation can be seen.

I thank you very much for your help.
