Silverlight loading progress indicator?

05-31-2007 6:44 PM |

If I load an XBAP I get a nice progress bar displayed indicating how long until the XBAP has fully loaded.  A silverlight app on the other hand seems to display nothing but a blank screen until the app has been fully loaded.  This isn't very user friendly, particularly if the silverlight program is large. 

My question is - is there any way to avoid this or, alternatively, is there a way I can write my own progress indicator that can load and display very quickly whilst the rest of my silverlight app is loading - i.e just like many flash movies do?

Cheers,

Dudley

 You can implement a progress bar by using the downloader object to download the resources you need.  There are some samples on the main site that have progress bars as examples.
