Question : Setting ScaleX and ScaleY on scaleTransform

Experts,

I have a simple question that I can't seem to solve.

I have a transformGroup that has a ScaleTransform() child added to it.  The name of my ScaleTransform is zoomTransform.

I zoom in and out using BeginAnimation fine.  No problems there.

But when I want to simply set the ScaleX and ScaleY values, without using BeginAnimation, I can't seem to do it.

Code is very straightforward.

this.zoomTransform.ScaleX = 1.5;
this.zoomTransform.ScaleY = 1.5;

But that doesn't seem to actually change the value!?

In VS2008, when in debug mode, I hit a breakpoint before those two lines of cose and the ScaleX and ScaleY values are both 0.5, after those two lines, they still stay at 0.5...not sure why they are not changing.  I checked to make sure it wasn't frozen using the isFrozen property, and it is not frozen.  So I have no idea why it won't change.  

i see examples online, and they do the same thing, they just set the value.  Any ideas why i can't?

thanks!

Central Admin running as local system account isn't a good sign.

You don't need Office on the server.

If everything is going on one server, install the free version of SQL 2008 express or 2005 express.

Install MOSS and choose Advanced install - Complete.  You need to create some Active DIrectory accounts before hand, at least one for "farm account", and one for everything else (if this isn't a prod environment).  Just read through Technet.
