Silverlight 3 and animated gif

Question

I have a question.

Is there a way that I can show an animated gif in silverlight 3? I would like a small loading gif to tell the user the application is acutally doing something ...

thx :)

Answer 1

Instead of using an animated GIF to tell the user your application is working, why not make a silverlight animation using symbols and a timeline?
