I have a requirement that I think is common in many applications: paging. I have chosen to go with the “press to load 10 more” pattern, I think it looks better in a Metro app instead of using page numbers.

The problem I am facing is memory related. I load the first 10 items, which contain some images, and as I press “load more”, I notice that the memory of the application is increased proportionally, obviously because of the images loaded. It soon gets to the 150MB memory limit where the operating system might actually kill the app.

What I am thinking is if there was some way after you scroll to the next page for the images not visible anymore to be unloaded from memory. This is gracefully handled by the iOS with the GetCell method, but is there an equivalent pattern in Windows 8 Javascript model?

Thanks,
Themos
