WPF - animate image source change

Question

I\'m pretty new to WPF but I think what I need to do is relatively simple. I need to create an image \"animation\", where I am changing an image source every .25 of a second.

Answer 1

A pure XAML solution could look like this, of course with different images and timings.

<Image>
    <Image.Triggers>
        <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Loaded">
            <BeginStoryboard>
                <Storyboard RepeatBehavior="Forever">
                    <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Source"
                                                   Duration="0:0:2">
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0">
                            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                                <BitmapImage UriSource="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Koala.jpg"/>
                            </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                        </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
                        <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1">
                            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                                <BitmapImage UriSource="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Penguins.jpg"/>
                            </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                        </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
                    </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                </Storyboard>
            </BeginStoryboard>
        </EventTrigger>
    </Image.Triggers>
</Image>
