c# - Display an Animated GIF in a Metro App

Question

Is there a control to show an animated gif in a Windows Store (Metro) app in Windows 8? I am using C# and XAML with databinding.

Answer 1

The Image control doesn't support animated GIFs. You will need to extract the frames and animate them on your own timer.
