How to create XAML splash screen with PRISM

votes

I am using PRISM 4.1 with UNITY for my application. I want to display a nice splash screen which will be a xaml window that will show a progress bar. Once all modules are loaded (one of the modules does lengthy database access operation on startup) splash screen should close and shell is shown. I cannot find any sample for this, all samples online use in-built SplashScreen which just points to static image. I want my splash screen to be xaml not just a static image or animated gif.
