Consider using States. You can have the app in one state and the progress meter for your downloading in another. Whenever you're downloading data, just make the progress-meter state the currentState. When you're all done with the data processing, switch back to the other state. ~randy

Setup a command, event, etc. one event would be 'showLoading' which has a command that increments a variable by 1 and if this variable > 0, shows the popup. Another event is called say 'hideLoading'. It decrements this variable, if this variable is <1, destroy the popup.

I don't know why I didn't think about using some kind of "wait" message or progress bar in a pop-up. Thanks. I have one last question about this. When do I destroy the pop-up? I'd like it to stay on until all the data has been parsed, sorted then loaded into the dataGrid. I thought it would be on the dataGrid in UpdateComplete, but that fires off everytime the DG updates (doesn't it?). So when is the best time to do this?
