In this first post, I'll be demonstrating the use of the LowProfileImageLoader class. (A future post will explore the DeferredLoadListBox class which is also part of the sample download - but for now I don't want to get into what that's all about.) LowProfileImageLoader is meant to address a very specific scenario: loading lots of images from the web at the same time. This turns out to be more common than you might expect - just think about all the social media scenarios where every user has a little picture alongside their content.
