Why don't these animations work when I'm using a storyboard?

Question

I\'ve created a simple subclass of StackPanel that I can move around on the screen using an animated TranslateTransform. It looks like this:

Answer 1

It's property path syntax. The following approach works:

public void BeginMove(Point translatePosition)
{
  RenderTransform = new TranslateTransform();
  Duration d = new Duration(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 400));
  DoubleAnimation x = new DoubleAnimation(translatePosition.X, d);
  DoubleAnimation y = new DoubleAnimation(translatePosition.Y, d);

  Storyboard.SetTarget(x, this);
  Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(x, 
              new PropertyPath("(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.X)"));

  Storyboard.SetTarget(y, this);
  Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(y, 
              new PropertyPath("(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.Y)"));

  Storyboard sb = new Storyboard();
  sb.Children.Add(x);
  sb.Children.Add(y);
  sb.Completed += sb_Completed;
  sb.Begin();

  //RenderTransform.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, x);
  //RenderTransform.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty, y);
}
