Question

I have a user control and I want to create a property of type storyboard which I can set in xaml, so I tried to following, but I get a bad property error when I run it:

private Storyboard sbTransitionIn_m; public Storyboard TransitionIn {     get {return sbTransitionIn_m;}     set {sbTransitionIn_m = value;} } 

xaml:

<MyStuff:MyUserControl x:Name='ctlTest' TransitionIn='sbShow'/> 

Answer 1

Define the storyboard in Resources and then refer it as staticresource

<UserControl.Resources>    <Storyboard x:Key='sbShow'>      <!--  -->    </Storyboard> </UserControl.Resources>  <MyStuff:MyUserControl x:Name='ctlTest' TransitionIn='{StaticResource sbShow}'/>
