How to: Seek a Storyboard
The following example shows how to use the Seek method of a Storyboard to jump to any position in a storyboard animation.
Example
Below is the XAML markup for the sample.
<Page xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="SDKSample.SeekStoryboardExample">
<StackPanel Margin="20" >
<Rectangle Name="myRectangle"
Width="10" Height="20" Fill="#AA3333FF" HorizontalAlignment="Left" >
<Rectangle.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Rectangle.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard Name="myBeginStoryboard">
<Storyboard Name="myStoryboard" Duration="0:0:4">
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="myRectangle"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width"
Duration="0:0:4" From="10" To="500"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Rectangle.Triggers>
</Rectangle>
<!-- Use this slider to seek to different points of the Storyboard Duration
(in milliseconds). -->
<Slider Name="SeekSlider" ValueChanged="OnSliderValueChanged" Height="Auto"
Width="500" Minimum="0" Maximum="4000" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
</StackPanel>
</Page>
Below is the code used with the XAML code above.

' Use the value of the slider to seek to a duration value of the Storyboard (in milliseconds).
myStoryboard.Seek(myRectangle, New TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, sliderValue), TimeSeekOrigin.BeginTime)
