It covers how to use Blend to create a simple loading screen and use the DataStateBehavior in conjunction with a Boolean ViewModel property to display the loading screen when data is loading, and the main view for the page when data has been finished loading.

BrentMorrisRTP Great Video and idea. Question: Where is the sample code located at? Also, you may to re-shoot the video to add more "zoom in" feature to the different text/code that you trying to point out. If you re-shoot, please add in the comment of "turning on" the recording at the 5:23 mark. Thanks for a creative idea and have a wonderful Holiday. (Live from Raleigh NC)

BretBentzinger Thanks for the feedback. I do not think I will re-shoot the video this time around, but will definitely make the adjustments for my next one. I overlooked the sample application and sharing it. I will sort that out and post an update when it is available, most likely after the holidays.

BretBentzinger I have added a link to the OneCode sample now, and added a new Timestamp to get quick access to creating and recording the visual states.
