Load Image After Items Loaded

[heavywoody]

I am trying to use listbox and make something like Windows Explorer.  I am loading in 8000 items, so the virtualizing is very helpful.   I wish scrolling wasn't so clunky.  But here is the issue.  Is there a way a way to do like Windows Explorer and load the image for the items when they appear virtualized or after the fact?  You see, if I wait for 8000 items to make a call to the backend and get their icons, it will take forever.  So I need to get the icons for each item in the listbox when I need it.  But I can't figure out how to do that.  Do you have any samples?  I hope that makes sense.  I am sure you have seen it where the items in a list appear with place holders and then the images come in as they are loaded.

Hello,

I suggest you to take a look at our DataServiceDataSource and VirtualQueryableCollectionView. You can find an example how to use VirtualQueryableCollectionView in our WPF demos - navigate to DataVirtualization examples:

DataContext = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView(new NorthwindEntities().Order_Details.OrderBy(o => o.OrderID)) { LoadSize = 5 };

This way you will load only some of the items, not all of them and the loading will be much faster.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contact us in case you have any problems or concerns.
