Animating rectangle: Extension method must be defined in a non-generic static class





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







-3















So far this is what I've got:



public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void TestMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
MoveTo(imageTest, 100, 100);
}
public static void MoveTo(this Image target, double newX, double newY)
{
var top = Canvas.GetTop(target);
var left = Canvas.GetLeft(target);
TranslateTransform trans = new TranslateTransform();
target.RenderTransform = trans;
DoubleAnimation anim1 = new DoubleAnimation(top, newY - top, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
DoubleAnimation anim2 = new DoubleAnimation(left, newX - left, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, anim1);
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.YProperty, anim2);
}
}


It has an error code of




Extension method must be defined in a non-generic static class




The premise is just to move a rectangle using an animation/timer, however using WPFs make it harder to do so, any help, or even better ways of doing so, would be helpful!

  • The error message can't be more clear. You have to declare the MoveTo method in another class. Or simply replace this Image target by Image target, which turns it into a reguar static method instead of an extension method.

  • Even better: UIElement target. Now you can use the method not only for Image elements.

Since you are expecting this Image as the parameter in MoveTo, it is considering this method as an extension method. More info here. Try this:



public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void TestMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
MoveTo(imageTest, 100, 100);
}
public static void MoveTo(UIElement target, double newX, double newY)
{
//Your code
}
}
