Start Animation?

Question
-
I'm getting used to the idea of XAML and using Blend, pretty cool.
Right, basically, I have a Textbox with text in it. I made that into a canvas and then made a timeline, and at the start, opacity = 0 and in the end, its 100. This works fine in the editor but how can i "start" that animation as soon as the control is loaded?

There may be an easier way, but when you create a storyboard (animation), you can access it from codebehind like a property.So, you create an event handler for your control's loaded event, and in there do something like:
this.MyAnimation.Begin().
That should do it. There's quite possibly an easier way, but that should work.

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the reply.
Can you tell me, where do I play that code? would that be JScript or from Server side (C#) ?

That would be serverside C# code.
Are you comfortable with creating event handlers?
