Hi Orlando,

The situation with the loading panel is the following.This panel is only shown during the execution of an Ajax request, in the scenario that you are implementing, when the pageview is loaded on the page additional Get request is made in order to load the content defined by the ContentUrl property. Since this is not an Ajax request, but a general HTTP Get one the loading panel is not shown. If you need to show some animation or manually show the loading panel the implementation from the following code library could be used.
