Hi!

I'm going to write a graphical N-puzzle using WPF.
my question is that,how could I move an image in directions that I want,with delay.

let me give you an example to clarify my question:
An image is located in center of window.and moves smoothly to left about 80 pixels in 2 seconds,then moves to down 80 pxls in 2 secs,then right,then up...

I want to know how it is done in C# code.

So you dont want to know how to do it in Xaml?

Are you familiar with Binding and Converters? Because I would prefer to bind an element placed in a Canvas to some property and when the property is changed the elements canvas properties (left, right, top, bottom) will be animated. If you need one animation after another (like animate to right then down) then you must use animations using keyframes.

Try this code.

C#

public static void MoveTo(this Image target, double newX, double newY)
    {
        var top = Canvas.GetTop(target);
        var left = Canvas.GetLeft(target);
        TranslateTransform trans = new TranslateTransform();
        target.RenderTransform = trans;
        DoubleAnimation anim1 = new DoubleAnimation(top, newY - top, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
        DoubleAnimation anim2 = new DoubleAnimation(left, newX - left, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
        trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty,anim1);
        trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty,anim2);
    }
