Hi,
I want to create a Busy Indicator which looks like this sample. Please see the attached image. I got a sample code which is for WPF but couldn't convert it to Silverlight.

<Window 
   x:Class="AnimatedBusyControl.MainWindow"
   Title="AnimatedBusyControl" 
   Height="400" 
   Width="400"
   >
   <Grid>
      <Grid.Resources>
         <Style x:Key="AnimatedBusyControl" TargetType="Control">
            <Setter Property="RenderTransformOrigin" Value="0.5,0.5"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#80FFFFFF"/>
            <Setter Property="Template">
               <Setter.Value>
                  <ControlTemplate>
                     <ControlTemplate.Resources>
                        <Style x:Key="Part" TargetType="Rectangle">
                           <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.3"/>
                           <Setter Property="RadiusX" Value="5"/>
                           <Setter Property="RadiusY" Value="5"/>
                           <Setter Property="Width" Value="100"/>
                           <Setter Property="Height" Value="10"/>
                           <Setter Property="RenderTransformOrigin" Value="0.5,0.5"/>
                        </Style>
                        <Storyboard

Hi Debasis,

I have updated the progress bar of the RadBusyIndicator for you. You will have to do the additional changes to the RadBusyIndicator's BusyContent area. The complete xaml for RadBusyIndicator of RadBusyIndicator is attached so this should not be a problem. The loader however looks pretty much like the WPF version you have attached.
