In this new Silverlight video tutorial Victor Gaudioso shows how to create a Storyboad Helper class.
This class has two static methods, FadeInFe and FadeOutFe (Fe stands for FrameworkElement). These allow you to call these methods and pass in Any FrameworkElement and specify a duration (how long in will take to fade in or out the FrameworkElement) as well as a delay (how long it takes before the Storyboard will begin). The methods return you a Storyboard and then all you have to do is tell the newly created Storyboard to begin. This helper class is a must for anyone who wants to do a lot of Storyboard creation in code-behind!
