Using Path Animation in Windows 8 using XAML

Question

I would like to animate a UI control (an Image actually) over a Path provided.

It is looking that it is not possible to do it in Windows 8 using XAML although it was possible with .NET 4.5 as far as I could see from the below reference.

My question is whether there is a work around that I can use to achieve my goal or get closer to it.

Answer 1

WinRT is very similar to Silverlight, so many Silverlight solutions can work in WinRT with minimal or no changes. This sample on CodeProject should give you DoubleAnimationUsingPath with little work.
