# Creating Animation in Silverlight

In this article I am going to demonstrate that how to use simple animation in Silverlight by using Visual Studio 2010. For creating any animation in Silverlight you have to perform two tasks. First create a **StoryBoard** object and set some properties to that object then create an object in which you want to apply story board.\

##### Following XAML code represent demonstration of Animation in Silverlight

```
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">        <Grid.Resources>            <Storyboard x:Name="storyBoard">                <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="rotateTransform" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Angle" From="0" To="360" Duration="0:0:5"                                 RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" />            </Storyboard>        </Grid.Resources>        <Rectangle Fill="LightBlue" x:Name="rectangle" Height="100" Width="100">            <Rectangle.RenderTransform>                <RotateTransform x:Name="rotateTransform" />            </Rectangle.RenderTransform>        </Rectangle></Grid>
```

##### Save application and execute it.
