Please help, I'm trying to create wpf Ojects dynamically using code.
I'm running into an issue when I try to add an animation, in my example to a Button. This is a custom animation. Look towards the bottom of the code where it says:

"<local:clEffects x:Name='myclEffects' x:Name='myclEffects'/>

            "<RowDefinition Height='107*'/>" &
        "</Grid.RowDefinitions>" &
        "<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal' TextElement.FontWeight='Bold' TextElement.FontSize='72pt' Margin='2,-3,163,0' Height='177' VerticalAlignment='Top'>" &
            "<StackPanel.Resources>" &
                "<Storyboard x:Name='myStoryboard' x:Key='myFold'>" &
                    "<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty='clEffects.Left' Storyboard.TargetName='mysbLeft' " &
                    "/>" &
                    "</Storyboard>" &
                    "<Storyboard x:Name='myStoryboard2' x:Key='myDropShadow'>" &
                    "<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty='ShadowDepth' Storyboard.TargetName='mysbDropShadow'" &
                    "/>" &
                "</Storyboard>" &
            "</StackPanel.Resources>" &
            "<Button x:Name='myButton1' Content='Click!' Width='91' " &
                "Margin='60' Height='42' FontSize='24' Padding='1'>" &
                    "<Button.Effect>" &
                    "<local:clEffects x:Name='myclEffects' x:Name='myclEffects'/>" &
                    "</Button.Effect>" &
                "</Button>" &
            "</StackPanel>" &
"</Grid>"

        Dim stringReader As New StringReader(xaml)
        Dim xmlReader_1 As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader)
        Dim tree As UIElement = DirectCast(XamlReader.Load(xmlReader_1), UIElement)
        LayoutRoot.Children.Add(tree)

End Sub

Thank you for your help.
