I'm developing Silverlight 4 LOB application and need to provide correct visualization of process that runs on back-end. Basically I need to show progress of operation that is currently running on server side.
Is there any correct way of implementing this functionality?
RIA doesn't support the server notifying the client. So the only way would be to find a way to query the progress periodically or just display a spinny wheel. Of course, splitting up the process as much as possible would help too (so you could display step 3/5 Fooing the bar [Spinny Wheel]).
