    <p>This is ugly but it works. By delaying the initiliazation of the long running operation using a DispatcherTimer we can allow the UI to be updated before the operation is started. </p> <p>XAML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication13.MainPage" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400"&gt; &lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"&gt; &lt;StackPanel&gt; &lt;Border x:Name="Brd01" Visibility="Collapsed" Background="Red"&gt; &lt;TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="30"&gt;Sleeping for 4 seconds...&lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/Border&gt; &lt;Border x:Name="Brd02" Visibility="Collapsed" Background="Lime"&gt; &lt;TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="30"&gt;Done!&lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/Border&gt; &lt;Button Content="Start Operation" Click="Button_Click_1"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/UserControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>Code-behind:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Net; using System.Threading; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; using System.Windows.Documents; using System.Windows.Input; using System.Windows.Media; using System.Windows.Media.Animation; using System.Windows.Shapes; using System.Windows.Threading; namespace SilverlightApplication13 { public partial class MainPage : UserControl { public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { //Show the "working..." message Brd01.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible; //Initialize a timer with a delay of 0.1 seconds var timer = new DispatcherTimer(); timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100); timer.Tick += Timer_Tick; timer.Start(); } private void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Start the long running operation Thread.Sleep(4000); Brd01.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed; Brd02.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible; //Kill the timer so it will only run once.

    1. COI was also thinking of some workaround like this, but that's not a robust solution as you also have mentioned. Anyways, thanks for your effort.

    2. COYou are right, it is not pretty. But with all UI programming I keep finding myself in situations like this where an ugly workaround is unavoidable. If you absolutely must show a "working..." message in your situation (where you cannot use a background thread) this is the only way I can think of.

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
