Binding to properties of Storyboard declared in UserControl

Question

Hi there,

I'm struggling with a binding that only works when declared inside a Window's resources area. As soon as I move the declaration to a UserControl's resources area, the binding fails. No error message, but the value is not updated when the value of the slider (source) is changed. I would like to use the storyboard inside one of the UserControl's VSM states.

Can someone please tell me why this happens and hopefully how to fix it?

I tried pasting my xaml here, but the website doesn't seam to allow the xml tags in the message.

Regards

Jaco

Only set the Storyboard.TargetProperty (and not .Target or .TargetName) and point the storyboard to the object in code:

Dim SB as Storyboard = Me.FindResource("Storyboard_name_goes_here")
TargetObject.BeginStoryboard(SB, HandoffBehavior.Compose)

Hope this helps...
