Virtualizer Property

Summary

Optional virtualizer object that can be used to load a large amount of image data in this ImageViewer.

Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
public virtual ImageViewerVirtualizer Virtualizer { get; set; } 
public:  
   virtual property ImageViewerVirtualizer^ Virtualizer 
   { 
      ImageViewerVirtualizer^ get() 
      void set(ImageViewerVirtualizer^ value) 
   } 

Property Value

The optional virtualizer object that can be used to load large amount of image data in this ImageViewer. Default value is null.

Remarks

The ImageViewerVirtualizer provide support for handling large amount of image data in an ImageViewer by loading and unloading item data on demand with full control for rendering place-holders and controlling the number of items to cache in memory.

For detailed information, refer to Image Viewer Virtualizer.
