The Timeline type exposes the following members.
Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
AutoReverse | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the timeline plays in reverse after it completes a forward iteration. | |
BeginTime | Gets or sets the time at which this Timeline should begin. | |
Dispatcher | Gets the Dispatcher this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
Duration | Gets or sets the length of time for which this timeline plays, not counting repetitions. | |
FillBehavior | Gets or sets a value that specifies how the animation behaves after it reaches the end of its active period. | |
RepeatBehavior | Gets or sets the repeating behavior of this timeline. | |
SpeedRatio | Gets or sets the rate, relative to its parent, at which time progresses for this Timeline. |

Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
CheckAccess | Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
ClearValue | Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetAnimationBaseValue | Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetValue | Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
ReadLocalValue | Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
SetValue | Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

Remarks
A timeline represents a segment of time. It provides properties that enable you to specify the length of that segment, when it should start, how many times it will repeat, how fast time progresses in that segment, and more. Classes that derive from Timeline provide animation functionality (e.g. DoubleAnimation, ColorAnimation, etc).
