Animations with storyboards in WPF are cool, but often we need to be able to trigger them to start from cs codebehind. For example, on a button click. Here the animationKey param is the key that is defined in the xaml for your storyboard.

private void StartAnimation(string animationKey)
{
     Storyboard pageViewAnimation = (Storyboard)FindResource(animationKey);
     pageViewAnimation.Begin();
}
