            <Border.Style>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type Border}">

                        <Trigger Property="Visibility" Value="Visible">
                            <Trigger.EnterActions>
                                <BeginStoryboard>
                                    <Storyboard>
                                        <ColorAnimation AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Duration="00:00:01" To="Transparent"></ColorAnimation>       
                                    </Storyboard>
                                </BeginStoryboard>
                            </Trigger.EnterActions>
                        </Trigger>
                    </Style.Triggers>
                </Style>
        </Border.Style>

Solution

  • Try to specify:

    Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush.Color"
    

    and either specify:

    BorderBrush="any-non-transparent-color"
    

    or in the animation:

    From="any-non-transparent-color"
