Solution 2

have a look at this useful article - WPF Multithreading: Using the BackgroundWorker and Reporting the Progress to the UI.[^].
You basically need to do something similar when the UI is doing background processing for a long time.

It works the same as in winforms, show a modeless dialog, set the cursor to a wait cursor, close the dialog when you're done. A progress bar is optional. You can set up a WPF animation to run if you want to, but WPF has nothing built in that I know of to show animated GIFs. Of course, you can show a wmv in the media player control, if you like, but that seems like overkill to me.
