Silverlight 3 and animated gif

Question

I have a question.

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

thanks:)

Answer 1

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

Here's a multi-page tutorial on how to create a “symbol character” rotation in Silverlight:
