Using a Storyboard animation on a programmatically-added control

Question

I\'m trying to fade in a new control to my application\'s \"app\" area which is programmatically added after the existing controls are removed. My code looks like this:

Answer 1

I wouldn't hassle with the NameScopes etc. and would rather use Storyboard.SetTarget instead.

var b = new Button() { Content = "abcd" };
stack.Children.Add(b);

var fade = new DoubleAnimation()
{
    From = 0,
    To = 1,
    Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),
};

Storyboard.SetTarget(fade, b);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(fade, new PropertyPath(Button.OpacityProperty));

var sb = new Storyboard();
sb.Children.Add(fade);

sb.Begin();
