Applying ColorAnimation
A ColorAnimation enables you to animate colors within a brush, such as LinearGradientBrush and RadialGradientBrush. A color is replaced with another one passing through a gradient. The next example is a little bit particular because it will be applied to a DataGrid control to demonstrate that business controls can receive animations. The DataGrid exposes an AlternatingRowBackground property that enables you to specify a different color for alternating rows. The goal of the example is animating colors in the background of such rows. For this, code in Listing 30.6 shows how to apply the described color animation.
