It's the same concept.  Once your data is complete, set ProgressRing.IsActive to false.  From the docs:

Use a ProgressRing to visually indicate that an operation is in progress. Set the IsActive property to turn the ProgressRing on or off. If IsActive is false, the ProgressRing is not shown, but space is reserved for it in the UI layout. To not reserve space for the ProgressRing, set its Visibility property to Collapsed.

Tip  When the ProgressRing is active, the progress animation continues even if its not visible on the screen, such as when it's Visibility is Collapsed. This can keep the UI thread awake, use resources, and impair app performance. When the ProgressRing is not visible, you should disable the animation by setting IsActive to false.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

Note: if you're using the new Windows.Web.Http HttpClient, you can create a simple 'filter' that plugs into the Http processing pipeline and which handles this for you.  That way, your business logic can simply be normal GETs and POSTs, and the progress ring comes up automatically.
