DXSplashScreen
DXSplashScreen for Silverlight allows you to display a splash screen in Silverlight Web applications to inform users of the state of your application during the initial load. When adding DXSplashScreen to your project, a XAML file containing the default splash screen is generated. You can fully customize this XAML file to create a custom splash screen according to your requirements.
DXSplashScreen is displayed on the application startup during the assemblies load. It indicates the progress of the assemblies load in percentages between 0% to 100%. After assemblies are loaded, a label ("Initializing controls...") is displayed during main page initialization. You can customize this label or change the way the load progress is indicated by editing the generated SplashScreen.xaml file.
