How to implement "Please Wait" screen in Silverlight

I have developed a Silverlight application. It has a button and once it is clicked the application starts doing something which takes time. Since everything in Silverlight is asynchronous the UI is not lagging, however, I would like to add some animation to it or something else to indicate that the application is actually doing some work and that the user should wait.

I don't know how to implement this, neither thread nor XAML wise. What is the best approach to this? Thanks.
