Windows Phone HubTile in depth| Part3: Freezing and Unfreezing tiles

by WindowsPhoneGeek

This is the third article about the new HubTile control from the latest release of Windows Phone Toolkit – August 2011 (7.1 SDK). This time I am going to talk about freezing and unfreezing tiles.

These data handling techniques can be used together to create one of the most important concepts in Windows Phone 7 – perceived performance. Full source with demo app showing the scenarios can be found at the bottom.
