我不确定这个问题是否已经解决，但最好的方法是使用WpfAnimatedGid库。这是非常容易，简单和直接的使用。它只需要2行XAML代码和后面的5行c#代码。

您将看到关于如何在那里使用它的所有必要细节。这也是我用来代替重新发明轮子的方法

这是我的动画图像控制版本。您可以使用标准属性Source来指定图像源。我进一步改进了它。我是俄罗斯人，项目是俄罗斯的，所以评论也是俄语。但是无论如何，你应该能够理解没有注释的一切。：）

基本上与上面的PictureBox解决方案相同，但这次使用了在项目中使用嵌入式资源的幕后代码:

在XAML:

<WindowsFormsHost x:Name="_loadingHost">
  <Forms:PictureBox x:Name="_loadingPictureBox"/>
</WindowsFormsHost>

在后台代码:

public partial class ProgressIcon
{
    public ProgressIcon()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("My.Namespace.ProgressIcon.gif");
        var image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream);
        Loaded += (s, e) => _loadingPictureBox.Image = image;
    }
}

我发布了一个扩展图像控件和使用Gif解码器的解决方案。gif解码器有一个frames属性。我动画FrameIndex属性。事件ChangingFrameIndex将源属性更改为与FrameIndex对应的帧(在解码器中)。我猜这个动图每秒有10帧。

class GifImage : Image
{
    private bool _isInitialized;
    private GifBitmapDecoder _gifDecoder;
    private Int32Animation _animation;

    public int FrameIndex
    {
        get { return (int)GetValue(FrameIndexProperty); }
        set { SetValue(FrameIndexProperty, value); }
    }

    private void Initialize()
    {
        _gifDecoder = new GifBitmapDecoder(new Uri("pack://application:,,," + this.GifSource), BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);
        _animation = new Int32Animation(0, _gifDecoder.Frames.Count - 1, new Duration(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, _gifDecoder.Frames.Count / 10, (int)((_gifDecoder.Frames.Count / 10.0 - _gifDecoder.Frames.Count / 10) * 1000))));
        _animation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        this.Source = _gifDecoder.Frames[0];

        _isInitialized = true;
    }

    static GifImage()
    {
        VisibilityProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof (GifImage),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(VisibilityPropertyChanged));
    }

    private static void VisibilityPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((Visibility)e.NewValue == Visibility.Visible)
        {
            ((GifImage)sender).StartAnimation();
        }
        else
        {
            ((GifImage)sender).StopAnimation();
        }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty FrameIndexProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("FrameIndex", typeof(int), typeof(GifImage), new UIPropertyMetadata(0, new PropertyChangedCallback(ChangingFrameIndex)));

    static void ChangingFrameIndex(DependencyObject obj, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs ev)
    {
        var gifImage = obj as GifImage;
        gifImage.Source = gifImage._gifDecoder.Frames[(int)ev.NewValue];
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Defines whether the animation starts on it's own
    /// </summary>
    public bool AutoStart
    {
        get { return (bool)GetValue(AutoStartProperty); }
        set { SetValue(AutoStartProperty, value); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty AutoStartProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("AutoStart", typeof(bool), typeof(GifImage), new UIPropertyMetadata(false, AutoStartPropertyChanged));

    private static void AutoStartPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((bool)e.NewValue)
            (sender as GifImage).StartAnimation();
    }

    public string GifSource
    {
        get { return (string)GetValue(GifSourceProperty); }
        set { SetValue(GifSourceProperty, value); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty GifSourceProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("GifSource", typeof(string), typeof(GifImage), new UIPropertyMetadata(string.Empty, GifSourcePropertyChanged));

    private static void GifSourcePropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        (sender as GifImage).Initialize();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Starts the animation
    /// </summary>
    public void StartAnimation()
    {
        if (!_isInitialized)
            this.Initialize();

        BeginAnimation(FrameIndexProperty, _animation);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Stops the animation
    /// </summary>
    public void StopAnimation()
    {
        BeginAnimation(FrameIndexProperty, null);
    }
}

使用示例(XAML):

<controls:GifImage x:Name="gifImage" Stretch="None" GifSource="/SomeImage.gif" AutoStart="True" />

GifImage.Initialize()方法的小改进，该方法从GIF元数据中读取适当的帧定时。

    private void Initialize()
    {
        _gifDecoder = new GifBitmapDecoder(new Uri("pack://application:,,," + this.GifSource), BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default);

        int duration=0;
        _animation = new Int32AnimationUsingKeyFrames();
        _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(0, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(0))));
        foreach (BitmapFrame frame in _gifDecoder.Frames)
        {
            BitmapMetadata btmd = (BitmapMetadata)frame.Metadata;
            duration += (ushort)btmd.GetQuery("/grctlext/Delay");
            _animation.KeyFrames.Add(new DiscreteInt32KeyFrame(_gifDecoder.Frames.IndexOf(frame)+1, KeyTime.FromTimeSpan(new TimeSpan(duration*100000))));
        }            
         _animation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        this.Source = _gifDecoder.Frames[0];            
        _isInitialized = true;
    }

之前，我也遇到过类似的问题，我需要在你的项目中播放gif文件。我有两个选择:

使用WinForms中的PictureBox 使用第三方库，如codeplex.com的WPFAnimatedGif。

带有PictureBox的版本不适合我，而且项目不能为它使用外部库。所以我通过ImageAnimator的帮助，通过Bitmap为自己制作了它。因为，标准的BitmapImage不支持gif文件的回放。

完整的例子:

XAML

<Window x:Class="PlayGifHelp.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="MainWindow_Loaded">

    <Grid>
        <Image x:Name="SampleImage" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

后面的代码

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    Bitmap _bitmap;
    BitmapSource _source;

    private BitmapSource GetSource()
    {
        if (_bitmap == null)
        {
            string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

            // Check the path to the .gif file
            _bitmap = new Bitmap(path + @"\anim.gif");
        }

        IntPtr handle = IntPtr.Zero;
        handle = _bitmap.GetHbitmap();

        return Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(handle, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions());
    }

    private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        _source = GetSource();
        SampleImage.Source = _source;
        ImageAnimator.Animate(_bitmap, OnFrameChanged);
    }

    private void FrameUpdatedCallback()
    {
        ImageAnimator.UpdateFrames();

        if (_source != null)
        {
            _source.Freeze();
        }

        _source = GetSource();

        SampleImage.Source = _source;
        InvalidateVisual();
    }

    private void OnFrameChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, new Action(FrameUpdatedCallback));
    }
}

位图不支持URI指令，所以我从当前目录加载。gif文件。
