Animations in WPF

Question

Hi,

Can anybody provide me some tutorials for Animations in WPF? As i am new to WPF, I am finding it difficult to understand how to animate objects/controls in wpf.

I would be happy with a simple example.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

http://windowsclient.net/learn/videos_wpf.aspx

including... http://windowsclient.net/learn/video.aspx?v=280279 - How Do I: Animate an Effect in WPF?

and... http://windowsclient.net/learn/video.aspx?v=24743 - How Do I: Use PointAnimation to Animate a Path in WPF

Plus a whole host here : http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=youtube%20wpf%20animation&pbx=1&oq=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=252a8ccab5621b39&biw=1464&bih=585&pf=p&pdl=500

Videos are a far easier way to learn.

Not forgetting of course the starting page for all WPF animation reading : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752312.aspx

<BeginStoryboard>
  <Storyboard>
    <DoubleAnimation
      Storyboard.TargetName="MyRectangle" 
      Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
      From="1.0" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:5" 
      AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" />
  </Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>

Pete

DoubleAnimation Slider2 = new DoubleAnimation(1, .2, new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)));
                    Storyboard.SetTargetName(Slider2, "winAlbumDetails");
                    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(Slider2, new PropertyPath(Canvas.OpacityProperty));
                    myStoryboard.Children.Add(Slider2);
