Standard call to begin StoryBoard

This is a good remind from Yi-Lun Luo(MSFT) from Silverlight Official Forum

Hello, thanks for reporting this issue. I’ve verified the behavior and notified out product team. The issue appears to be: If you use Storyboard.SetTarget to set the target for an animation, if the property path is quite complex, the target will be lost after you begin the Storyboard. If you manually set the target before each Storyboard begins, it will work fine:

Storyboard.SetTarget(s1.Children(0), recMain)
s1.Begin()

Also you can use SetTargetName instead of SetTarget. If your objects are dynamically created, you can write something like this:

recMain.SetValue(FrameworkElement.NameProperty, “rec”)
Storyboard.SetTargetName(d, “rec”)

Yes [Y]Yes [Y]Yes [Y]Yes [Y]Yes [Y]Yes [Y]

Silverlight Beta 2

Still a long way to go…

After upgraded to Silverlight 2 beta 2, it seems that there is so many problems…

  1. Listbox.Items.MouseLeftButtonDown Event cannot be fired 
  2. WCFService cannot be added as Service Reference
  3. Beta 2 Runtime cannot view Beta 1 Application
  4. …. Still more to be found and discovered..

These are not my main point. What I want to say is that – it is still a Beta Version, isn’t it?

Engineers from Microsoft are still trying their best to create the best environment for us to build such a Dynamic Scenario (Silverlight). 

Please Clap for them and give your opinion at http://www.silverlight.net/forums/ and post the bugs you found onto it.

Thanks!

Live with Light!
