Question

I am able to provide animation to an image button from below code.

this.RegisterName(image1.Name, image1);
DoubleAnimation myDoubleAnimation = new DoubleAnimation();
myDoubleAnimation.From = 1.0;
myDoubleAnimation.To = 0.0;
myDoubleAnimation.Duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.25));
myDoubleAnimation.AutoReverse = true;
myDoubleAnimation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
myStoryboard = new Storyboard();
myStoryboard.Children.Add(myDoubleAnimation);
Storyboard.SetTargetName(myDoubleAnimation, image1.Name);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(myDoubleAnimation, new PropertyPath(Image.OpacityProperty));
myStoryboard.Begin(this);

Now I need to stop the animation .

Below is the sample code.

TimeSpan? ts = new TimeSpan(0,0,2); 
DoubleAnimation myDoubleAnimation = new DoubleAnimation();
myDoubleAnimation.From = 1.0;
myDoubleAnimation.To = 0.0;
myDoubleAnimation.Duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));
myStoryboard.BeginTime = ts; 
myDoubleAnimation.AutoReverse = true; 
myStoryboard = new Storyboard();
myStoryboard.Children.Remove(myDoubleAnimation); 
myStoryboard.Stop(this);

I am not able to stop the animation for image button.
Please guide me for above issues.

It looks as though you’re stopping a Storyboard that wasn’t started. You’re creating an entirely new Storyboard in an attempt to stop the original, but that is nonsensical. Just keep a reference to the original and stop it.
