I have a datagrid that displays large amounts of data. As the datagrid loads, I have a label that displays the count. How can I also indicate with the busy indicator that the grid is still loading?

VB

If (DataGrid.ItemsSource IsNot Nothing) Then
            Dim count As Integer = DataGrid.ItemsSource.OfType(Of Object)().Count()
            lblCount_stat.Content = "Count: " & count
        End If

You need to use BackgroundWorker to do that.

Examples:

BackgroundWorker in Silverlight [^]

Responsive UIs for WPF Applications Using Asynchronous Processing[^]

Mark it as answer if it is helpful.
