John Stockton recently recorded an episode of Silverlight TV with John Papa where they discussed the creation of Splash pages in Silverlight. This post is a companion post to that episode so check it out to learn a lot of useful information.
Let me be clear about this, when I mention splash page I’m referring to
a custom loading screen. This is a lightweight Silverlight application
that runs while your main Silverlight application is downloading.
Typically these will include things like progress bars, user tips,
humorous statements or even news headlines.
