How to: Define a Name Scope

To animate with xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard in code, you must create a xref:System.Windows.NameScope and register the target objects' names with the element that owns that name scope. In the following example, a xref:System.Windows.NameScope is created for myMainPanel. Two buttons, button1 and button2, are added to the panel, and their names registered. Several animations and a xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard are created. The storyboard's xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard.Begin%2A method is used to start the animations.

Because button1, button2, and myMainPanel all share the same name scope, any one of them can be used with the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Storyboard.Begin%2A method to start the animations.
