No more support for Transform Name Property?

10-13-2008 12:37 AM |

 In Beta 2 i was able to provide the name for RotateTransform or a ScaleTransform.

I used the Name property of these matrices to procedurally set animations (Storyboards). Now, in RC0, i cant specify the names.

So how do i procedurally set/update a Storyboard properties to animate a DoubleAnimation tied to a RotateTransform?

 

/// Note: _needle is a Line object

/// I have a _rotateTransform object, but i cant specify it below because i cannot specify its Name property!!!

_doubleAnimAngle.SetValue(Storyboard.TargetNameProperty, _needle.Name);

_doubleAnimAngle.SetValue(Storyboard.TargetPropertyProperty, new PropertyPath("Angle"));

I think i'll followup by asking a simpler question.

Is the prefered method of animation a rotation by manipulating the Angle property of the object's respective RotateTransform?

If so, how can i tie the RotateTransform with the animator (e.g. DoubleAnimation)?

 Thanks.

Closing this thread since nobody knows the answer apparantly.

Also switching over to release version anyway, so hopefully this wont be an issue.
