title: Windows Store 8.1. XAML Progress Bar between pages
body: <p>I am having a problem with a page in my Windows 8.1 Store App that is taking a long time to render - it is a grid with a number of columns and rows that gets bound to data on loading of the page.
  It is not the loading of the data that is slow but the actual binding of the data to the grid.</p>
  
  <p>I ideally want to display a dialog bar to indicate to the user that something is loading and they have clicked on the previous navigate button okay.</p>
  
  <p>I saw someone mention the possibility of having a "loading page" which only has a progress bar in it - and I thought this solution might work but I can't work out in what event of the loading page should I navigate to the actual page.</p>
  
  <p>i.e.
  User clicks button which calls</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(LoadingPage));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Loading Page displays a progress bar</p>
  
  <p>I know need to be able to call</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(ActualPage));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The user sees the progress bar whilst ActualPage loads.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks!</p>
