I am calling a wcf service, so I'd like to display a spinner of some type so the user can see an operation is occuring. I'm wondering is somebody has some examples to look at.

You may be looking for PriorityBinding. -- You can bind to a spinning animation, and then to actual data once it is returned.

Are you looking for an asynchronous pattern for your call?

  1. Kick off WPF app's WCF
  2. Display animation
  3. Wait for WCF call to return
  4. Hide animation

yes I am making an async call, but want some ideas for a control that displays an animation

Honestly, I always just used animated gifs in a picture box (I'm sorry all my code is at my prior job). I think it was just a matter of finding the images. Most of the time we had access to an artist to do the work, sometimes google.

This is what I was looking for: Spinning Progress Control in WPF
