    <p>I'm writing a Windows Phone 7 app that deals with a lot of images - These images can range from a few hundred pixels up to 1080P (Potentially higher in future).</p> <p>Images are very resource intensive so I've gone down the path of caching + resizing images on the phone before displaying them.</p> <p>This means on first time setup after a user has entered the IP address of the image store I can ask them to wait a few minutes while it's all retrieved/resized/cached. From then on they can have nice and snappy performance.</p> <p>At the moment my cache manager tracks Images by a dictionary of Uri's and file locations. I have a Queue that processes up to 5 images at a time (Async web requests, resizing is semi done on thread pool thread).</p> <p>The problem I have is that the WritableBitmap class in Silverlight is a UI element, meaning I have to transition to the UI thread via the Dispatcher to do the actual resizing which is stupid and slows the whole thing down - It also means my Cache Manager is effectively single threaded.</p> <p>So it goes Cache Manager (Thread Pool) -> Async Web request (Thread Pool) -> Callback (Thread Pool) -> Resizing (UI Thread) -> Marking cache job as complete (Thread Pool). </p> <p>I've been looking for a 3rd party library that will A) Compile and run on Windows Phone 7 and B) Be able to resize images of various formats by manipulating a stream or byte array and not be dependent on the UI thread.</p> <p>Any one had any experience with this?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Tyler</p>

    3. COYou could pass the Url to a webservice which would do the download+resize and then pass the smaller image back to windows phone? I think that's what Damian was saying.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
