ColorAnimation doesn't do anything

ColorAnimation doesn't do anything

I'm trying to integrate a little colorApplication to a little "game" I did in silverlight.

I'm kinda noob with C# so I just searched on the net and I found something which explain how to do a colorApplication.

Here, I just want to change my background color from orange to blue and then use the autoreverse to come back to orange.

Here is my XAML

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Orange">     <Grid.Resources>         <Storyboard x:Name="colorStoryboard">             <ColorAnimation BeginTime="00:00:00" AutoReverse="True"                             Storyboard.TargetName="LayoutRoot"                             Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color)"                              Duration="00:00:02" From="Orange" To="Blue" />         </Storyboard>     </Grid.Resources>      <sdk:Label Height="16" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="162,12,0,0"                 Name="label1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="84"                 Content="Vrai ou Faux ?" />     <Button Content="Vrai" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="59,61,0,0"             Name="buttonVrai" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"               Click="buttonVrai_Click" />     <Button Content="Faux" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="267,61,0,0"             Name="buttonFaux" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"              Click="buttonFaux_Click" />     <sdk:Label Height="20" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="59,184,0,0"                 Name="label2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="60" Content="Score" />     <sdk:Label Height="20" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="322,184,0,0"                 Name="labelScore" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="20" Content="0" />     <Button Content="Redémarrer" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left"              Margin="162,265,0,0" Name="buttonRedemarrer" VerticalAlignment="Top"              Width="84" Click="buttonRedemarrer_Click" /> </Grid> 

I just followed the tutorial but it doesn't work. My background color doesn't change. Did I forgot something ? Thanks for your help guys...

The problem is probably that nothing is triggering the animation. If I trigger the animation on, say, Window.Loaded, the animation works fine:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"       Background="Orange">   <Grid.Triggers>     <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Window.Loaded">       <BeginStoryboard>         <Storyboard x:Name="colorStoryboard">           <ColorAnimation BeginTime="00:00:00"                           AutoReverse="True"                           Storyboard.TargetName="LayoutRoot"                           Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color)"                           Duration="00:00:02"                           From="Orange"                           To="Blue" />         </Storyboard>       </BeginStoryboard>     </EventTrigger>   </Grid.Triggers>   <!-- ETC --> </Grid> 

You'll need to trigger the animation somehow -- perhaps on a button click or another routed event.

I thought that I didn't have to write a method or something like that to start the animation. I thought that set the BeginTime = "00:00:00" will implicitly start the animation. I can compile and run this code.

So now, my "new question" is : How can I auto-start the animation ?
