Where is ProgressRing Control?

I am trying to write a Windows Phone 8 SDK-based application. I keep seeing mention of a ProgressRing control but I don't see it in the Toolbox or in the xaml designer.

How do I use this?

See below blog link for simple copy&paste code to exactly replicate the Windows ProgressRing (uses the actual style code). Works perfectly, just added it to my WP8 project:

There is more info about adapting it to WP8 in the answer to this question:

How to Use ProgressRing in Windows Phone 8

Download this app for your phone to see it in action.

ProgressRing is not available for Windows Phone 7 or 8, you have to use ProgressBar or rather the PerformanceProgressBar:

ProgressRing is part of the Win8 UI controls, not WP8. In WP8 you should use SystemTray.ProgressIndicator instead which is part of the windows phone UI shell. See here and here for samples.
