In our <\/span>last post<\/span><\/a>, I explained how to create a microphone for Windows Phone 7. In this blog, I want to share a sample that will help you to create a custom indeterminate progress bar for Windows Phone 7. You can create an indeterminate progress bar that runs on the UI thread, but that can impact the performance of your application. In this sample, I will demonstrate how to create an indeterminate progress bar that runs on the composite thread, rather than the UI thread, for better performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

  3. Rebuild in the release mode before publishing <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Before you create a custom indeterminate progress bar application, you need to install the following applications:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
