How can I tell if virtualization is actually active?

This skill includes diagnostic C# methods to check the visual tree for a VirtualizingStackPanel and count 'realized' containers to verify that only visible items are being rendered.

What does VirtualizationMode='Recycling' do?

Recycling mode reuses the same UI containers (like ListBoxItems) as the user scrolls, rather than destroying and creating new ones, which offers a massive performance boost.

Why does my WPF ListBox feel laggy with large datasets?

Lag is often caused by 'virtualization breakers' such as nesting a ListBox inside a ScrollViewer or setting CanContentScroll to false, which forces the UI to render every single item at once.

What is the primary benefit of WPF UI virtualization?

UI virtualization improves performance by only creating visual elements for items currently visible to the user, significantly reducing memory consumption and initial load times for large collections.

Optimizes WPF application performance by implementing advanced UI virtualization patterns for large datasets.

소개

This skill provides specialized implementation patterns for WPF UI virtualization using VirtualizingStackPanel. It enables developers to handle datasets exceeding 1,000 items in ListBox, ListView, and DataGrid controls without sacrificing UI responsiveness or memory efficiency. By providing ready-to-use XAML configurations for container recycling, pixel-based scrolling, and cache management, this skill helps identify and resolve 'virtualization breakers' like nested ScrollViewers that often cause desktop application performance bottlenecks.
