Hi @QiMata
How do you use this base page? Can you share usage of this LoadingPage?
Thanks.

The other pages in the application would inherit from BaseContentPage instead of Content page.

Instead of inheriting from BasePage we can also create a controltemplate like shown here http://surfy57.free.fr/?p=42
