David Anson continues his series of posts on giving developers performance-focused alternatives for common Windows Phone 7 scenarios. In this second post (first post here) David shows how DeferredLoadListBox and Silverlight StackPanel give good performance in a scenario common for social media applications: a scrolling list of entries with a picture and a brief bit of text.

In this second post, I'll be demonstrating the use of my DeferredLoadListBox class in conjunction with the Silverlight StackPanel in order to get good performance from a scenario that's pretty common for social media applications: a scrolling list of entries with a picture and a brief bit of text. (Ex: Twitter posts, Facebook updates, blog comments, and the like.) As usual, I've written a sample application to show what I'm talking about - it displays a simple list of about 200 image+name pairs from the web (the followers of my Twitter account [you know who you are! :) ]). You can see a screen shot of the "List Scrolling" sample below:
