# Creating a Common Loading Page for Xamarin Forms

https://jaredrhodes.com/blog/creating-a-common-loading-page-for-xamarin-forms/

A common pitfall I see in [Xamarin Forms](https://www.xamarin.com/forms) is adding a Loading page icon for every page. This is one of the problems that plagued the current Home Control Flex application. Instead of having a loading icon on each page you can create a base page that has a loading screen on each. You can do this using the [**ContentPropertyAttribute**](https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/Xamarin.Forms.ContentPropertyAttribute/) on your base page as shown below.
