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 agree, the namescopes are probably the wrong thing to use for this scenario. Much simpler and easier to use SetTarget rather than SetTargetName.

In case it helps anyone else, here's what I used to highlight a particular cell in a table with a highlight that decays to nothing. It's a little like the StackOverflow highlight when you add a new answer.

    TableCell cell = table.RowGroups[0].Rows[row].Cells[col];

    // The cell contains just one paragraph; it is the first block
    Paragraph p = (Paragraph)cell.Blocks.FirstBlock;

    // Animate the paragraph: fade the background from Yellow to White,
    // once, through a span of 6 seconds.

    SolidColorBrush brush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Yellow);
    p.Background = brush;
    ColorAnimation ca1 = new ColorAnimation()
    {
            From = Colors.Yellow,
            To = Colors.White,
            Duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(6.0)),
            RepeatBehavior = new RepeatBehavior(1),
            AutoReverse = false,
    };

    brush.BeginAnimation(SolidColorBrush.ColorProperty, ca1);
