How to add busyindicator to TileView

[Kamal Mostofi]

Hi,
I have an SL RIA application where I load data into TileView on page load class. There is a few seconds delay before data shows on the screen. I would like to show the busyindicator for those few seconds. I added my tileview between busyindicator tags, set isbusy = true in xaml. But it always shows and never disappear! When i set it to false in the code behind after services loaded, it never displays the busyindicator.

Can you help me please?

Thanks,
Kamal

Hi Kamal,

I would suggest you to refer to our online example here - http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#BusyIndicator/FirstLook. 
Also, if you give us more information about the problem, it would be very helpful.

Best wishes,

Hi,

I looked at the sample. You can see my code behind.

SupplierServices me = new SupplierServices();
NavigationService services;
BackgroundWorker myworker = new BackgroundWorker();
public Suppliers()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    try
    {

        if (!myworker.IsBusy)
        {
            this.anjbusyindicator.IsBusy = true;
            myworker.RunWorkerAsync();
        }
        myworker.DoWork += this.WorkerDoWork;
        myworker.RunWorkerCompleted += WorkerRunWorkerCompleted;


    }
    catch
    {
    }
}
private void WorkerDoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{

    e.Result = loadproducts();
}
private bool  loadproducts()
{
    this.tileView1.ItemsSource = me.AnjSuppliers;
    me.Load(me.GetAnjSuppliersQuery());
    me.Load(me.GetProductsQuery());
    return true;
}
void WorkerRunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{

}

I am not sure what I should code in WorkerRunWorkerCompleted!!!
The code above display the busyindicator but doesn't load the data and indicator shows forever.

I do appreciate your help here.
thanks,
Kamal

Hello Kamal,

Attached you can find a sample project that shows how to use RadBusyIndicator until something is finished. For the purpose of the sample I use Timers, but you could accomplish the same logic by using a RIA service, for example. For more information, please refer to our online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radbusyindicator-overview.html

I hope this helps

Kind regards,
