Hi, in addition to my post above, you can use Silverlight 2.0 controls in Splash screen. You just need to design your splash screen xaml in Silverlight 2 project and than put that xaml in web project and it will work. If you create splash.xaml in web project and open in Blend than you will get error that Grid is not supported. So better to create it under Silverlight project and then move to Asp.net web project.

if you prefer managed code splash screen, than nice framework for it here:

And if you simulate progressbar using BLOCKED SCRIPT

Splash.xaml:

SplashProgress.js

function onSourceDownloadProgressChanged(sender, eventArgs)
{
sender.findName("progressText").Text = Math.round((eventArgs.progress * 100))+ "%";
sender.findName("progressBar").Width = eventArgs.progress * sender.findName("progressBarBackground").Width;
}

No you can only use silverlight 1 controls in a splash screen. This article shows to use a rectangle control to show progress.

SilverLight Splash Screen and Using Progress Bar

Is there any way that I can get the control Progress Bar onto my splash screen? I currently have my splash screen set up as and xml file, can I use an User Control as my splash screen? I can use image and stack panel on it, but it does not like Progress Bar. I see that Progress Bar is in System.Windows.Controls library? Is there any way that I can get to that library?
