I have a silverlight application that uses WCF, and I would like to make a WCF call to load some data before the usercontrol is loaded so that I could use the data with an autocompletebox. Any suggestions as to how to accomplish this?

Not sure if your user interface will be suitable to use a loading indicator or a progress bar. If you can use loading indicator, then it might be a good option to display the busy / loading indicator while the async call is in progress. That would disable the user from clicking on the dropdown or any other control while the data is being retrieved from the WCF service.
