WPF- Is there a performance difference between using a ContentPresenter or a VirtualizingStackPanel as the itemshost in a ListBox ControlTemplate?

Yes, there is. The VirtualizingStackPanel optimizes the display of the items - it only creates and holds the visible items - and thus provides a better performance.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
