Hi guys,

In my WPF app, I have some borders that have a LinearGradientBrush applied to their backgrounds and when the mouse hovers over these border controls I want the background to fade to a different LinearGradientBrush.
The way I am doing this at the moment is to create an identically sized/shaped border control on top of the existing one but set its Opacity to 0, then when the mouse goes over it I just use a DoubleAnimation to increase the opacity. This works fine and gives the exact effect I am after, but I just thought there must be a better way of doing it.

I looked at using the ColorAnimation class but I can only get this to fade to a solid colour.

Anyone got any suggestions?
