Hello,
I'm studying techniques and practices in the Silverlight demos. Found an interesting problem I cannot understand. When you first load the demos you see a progressbar and four icons that fade out after data has been loaded, revealing the demos home.
I found two images in examples source folder ExamplesWeb\SplashScreen: backgrounf.jpg and splash-loading.png, corresponding to the screen background and these four icons respectively.
I modify these files, changing the background color to red so I could easily see where these files are used. What I get is that background and icons really change to red, but only until the progressbar is filled. All changes when the icons start to fade out.
I cannot understand, why when these icons fade out, still the original blue background and blue icons are used. I cannot find any more copies of these image files in any Examples folder.
Could you please, explain, how this works and where the original images are loaded from? I refresh the page with Ctrl+F5, so any images from cache should be reloaded anyway.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Eugene

Hello Eugene,
The progressbar you see is a splash screen that is assigned as a xaml file to the Silverlight object object in the web page. It is essentially Silverlight 1.0 and it is loaded before the Silverlight 2/3 application. It is controlled though JavaScript.
The images that you are probably changing are part of the Silverlight project. They are there just for consistency - so that the change between the loading screen and the application will not be that sudden.
This MSDN article describes the splash screens in more detail:
