Increase performance of my WPF progressbar usercontrol

I just wanted to make an simple cirling progressbar but using rekurive algorithm. It is that easy but does hurt the Designer and does not perform well.

Circling progressbar

I do not understand why it does not. Please, can you download the sourcecode and check where you made changes to improve performance?

Download project sourcecode here:

I am not interested in getting a progressbar but in why does it not perform.

Regards

  • Try the compositor thread?

    Have you tried using the regular progress bar in the same place? I'd bet it has the same performance problems.

    The silverlight team released a toolkit

    And it contains a progress bar. The biggest difference is that it runs on the compositor thread. That might speed up your problems. Take a look at the source code for the silverlight toolkit to see how they did it.
