Programatic access to Resources and Beta 2 [Resources.Count = 0?]

 hello everyone, hope i'm not repeating question...

 i trying access resources of element in code behind of silverlight application.  ultimate goal able load snippet of xaml , iterate through it's resources see if contains storyboards etc.  in other words, not know actual names of resources @ time xaml loaded, , want still access these resources if exist through c# code.

 in trying this, whenever checked frameworkelement.resources.count property 0. tried checking right after loaded xaml, after added new xaml layoutroot, , again after triggered mouse event.  every time read count = 0.  figured there may issue loading xaml local resources set [ie. <rectangle.resources .../>] tried set resources on usercontrol itself. again, left getting resources.count = 0 when page loaded.

i had friend of mine had not upgraded beta 2 run same code, , received resources.count = 1 on page load when both resource set locally on element, , when set on usercontrol itself... i'm guessing has changed between beta 1 , 2... can't seem figure out what, or if bug.

 
code:

<usercontrol x:class="graphics4.page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:wrappanel="clr-namespace:wrappanelext;assembly=graphics4"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:graphics4;assembly=graphics4"
    width="1000" height="700">

 

    <usercontrol.resources>
        <storyboard x:name="myanimatedrectangle_storyboard">
            <doubleanimation
                 storyboard.targetname="myanimatedrectangle"
                 storyboard.targetproperty="opacity"
                 from="1.0" to="0.0" duration="0:0:1"
                 autoreverse="true" repeatbehavior="forever" />
        </storyboard>
    </usercontrol.resources>

    ...

    <rectangle x:name="myanimatedrectangle" width="50" height="50" fill="red" />

now in cs page have following code check resources.count property.  notice when page loaded not indicate there resource on control, when add 1 manually , check, seems have registered newly created resource...

[in graphics4.page class]

void page_loaded(object sender, routedeventargs e)
{
    int testcount = this.resources.count;  // <== 0 [should 1?]

 

    storyboard newsb = new storyboard();
    newsb.setvalue(frameworkelement.nameproperty, "testingnewsb");

    this.resources.add("sb", newsb);

 

    testcount = this.resources.count;      // <== 1 [should 2?]

 

}

has seen before?  i'm @ impasse because not know if there resources on given snippet of xaml , have able iterate through them programatically.

 

thank you,
