In this set of tests I’ve decided to measure the memory usage of non-virtualized StackPanel in Windows Phone 8 environment. I have also done similar tests for Windows Phone 7.1, but the numbers were slightly different. For memory measurements I have used the default 512MB WVGA emulator. First of all I have created a basic XAML page and added an ItemsControl which by default uses StackPanel for ItemsPanelTemplate. For ItemTemplate I’ve picked a simple rectangle control and applied a binding for a Height attribute.
