WP7 Virtualizing WrapPanel

Question

I want to use a WrapPanel in my WP7 app, so I used the wrappanel contained in Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit. The problem with this wrappanel is that it doesnt support UI virtualization.

Can you give some directions on how to implement UI virtualization for a WrapPanel?

Answer 1

Do you mind explaining your requirement around wrap panel. Because for most of the situations you might be able to make with a combination of VirtualizedStackPanel vertically and fixed items inside each row. I have done this way in many apps, because making a wrap panel virtualizing is hard compared to what easy performance and flexibility I can get from this small work around. Yes orientation can easily trigger for 'number of items per row' change to compensate the width changes.
