In addition to setting the target property using this method, you must target the object that possesses that property using a method like SetTarget or SetTargetName.
Indirect target properties can be specified with a property path syntax. For details on this syntax, see Storyboard..::.TargetProperty.
The following example shows how to create a Storyboard using code.
public void Create_And_Run_Animation(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a red rectangle that will be the target
// of the animation.
Rectangle myRectangle = new Rectangle();
myRectangle.Width = 200;
myRectangle.Height = 200;
Color myColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0);
SolidColorBrush myBrush = new SolidColorBrush();
myBrush.Color = myColor;
myRectangle.Fill = myBrush;
// Add the rectangle to the tree.
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(myRectangle);
// Create a duration of 2 seconds.
Duration duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2.0));
// Create two DoubleAnimations and set their properties.
DoubleAnimation myDoubleAnimation1 = new DoubleAnimation();
DoubleAnimation myDoubleAnimation2 = new DoubleAnimation();
myDoubleAnimation1.Duration = duration;
myDoubleAnimation2.Duration = duration;
Storyboard sb = new Storyboard();
sb.Duration = duration;
sb.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation1);
sb.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation2);
Storyboard.SetTarget(myDoubleAnimation1, myRectangle);
Storyboard.SetTarget(myDoubleAnimation2, myRectangle);
// Set the attached properties of Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top
// to be the target properties of the two respective DoubleAnimations
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation1, "(Canvas.Left)");
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation2, "(Canvas.Top)");
myDoubleAnimation1.To = 200;
myDoubleAnimation2.To = 200;
// Make the Storyboard a resource.
LayoutRoot.Resources.Add(sb);
// Begin the animation.
sb.Begin();
}
