ObjectAnimationBase Class
Visual Studio 2008
Abstract class that, when implemented, animates a Object value.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
Notes to Inheritors:
See the Custom Animations Overview for information about extending animation classes.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the derived ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames class in Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML).
