• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Simple ListBox template change, big performance degradation

  I have a ListBox in my application showing around 200 items where the items use their respective data templates.  The performance was good enough. Because I needed to put some status information embeded in the ListBox, I modified the ListBox Template to include a TextBlock at the top.  To my surprise, when I did that, the performance of the ListBox was greately reduced!! It's 10x slower or more on many aspects: when populatin ...Show All
