Use XAML below

<MediaElement Height="30" Width="30" LoadedBehavior="Play" Source="Images\loading.gif" />

Set properties of loading.gif

BuildAction : None
Copy to Output Directory : Copy always

It should work.

WPF at the moment doesn't natively support animated GIFs.

You can get around it by hosting the image in a PictureBox.

EDIT : Also checkout this thread for a bit more info.

And did it work or not? ;)

The MediaElement does not yet support pack URIs. That means you'll need to include the GIF as an external file, not a resource. That may be your problem, but you'll need to provide more info if not.

I fond UserControl here for showing Animated GIFs, and guess what work just works as simple as Image control.

And thank you all

The link is dead, so this answer is now useless. Can you give any details? – Foole Jul 19 '12 at 11:39
