Support for loading large amount of items in an ImageViewer.
public abstract class ImageViewerVirtualizer
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.
