PerformanceProgressBar WP8

Question

For a windows Phone app data is loaded async from Web Api's. While the data is loading something must indicate it. I found something about a progress bar but it don't show up:

<toolkit:PerformanceProgressBar Height="100" Width="100" Margin="0,0,0,0" Background="Yellow" Foreground="Purple" IsIndeterminate="True" Visibility="Visible"></toolkit:PerformanceProgressBar>

Does anyone know a good example or way to do this?

Answer 1

PerformanceProgressBar is removed from wp8 version of Phone toolkit, since the built-in ProgressBar does not have performance issues, check this out

However, your code should still for WP 7.1

Answer 2

You need to use the integrated shell:systemtray.progressindicator for this! A list of examples can be found here...
