Question

I’m using a progress bar for loading an image in an application for Windows Phone 7.

bitmapImage.DownloadProgress += new EventHandler<DownloadProgressEventArgs (bitmapImage_DownloadProgress);

void bitmapImage_DownloadProgress(object sender, DownloadProgressEventArgs e)
{
   progressBar.Value = e.Progress;
}

XAML file:

<ProgressBar x:Name="progressBar" IsIndeterminate="True" Width="300" Height="30" Style="{StaticResource PerformanceProgressBar}" />

I’d like to know the best way to make the progress bar disappear once the image is loaded.

Use the events ImageOpened which triggers when image has been loaded successfully and ImageFailed which triggers if image failed to download.

bitmapImage.ImageOpened += new EventHandler<RoutedEventArgs>(bi_ImageOpened);
bitmapImage.ImageFailed += new EventHandler<ExceptionRoutedEventArgs>(bi_ImageFailed);

void bi_ImageFailed(object sender, ExceptionRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Download of image failed");
    progressBar.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

void bi_ImageOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     progressBar.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
