A scroll viewer control that displays associated content having inertial snap points in a scrollable view. The scroll viewer control applies inertial movement to displayed content such that even after a user completes a scroll gesture, the displayed content continues to scroll with reducing velocity until the scroll slows to a stop within the scrollable view. In so doing, the scroll viewer control enforces an inertial snap point by causing the scroll to stop when a boundary of the scrollable view coincides with the inertial snap point. A content control may implements an interface that allows the scroll viewer control to discover the snap point set associated with the content. Furthermore, the content control may notify the scroll viewer control of changes in the snap point set.

Exposing inertial snap points

A server-based application includes at least one page file that identifies one or more server objects. The page file describes the particular layout and interaction of the server objects, such as controls, in such a way that a page of information may be transmitted to a target device. When designing the page file a developer may use declarative statement, so that certain properties of the specified controls may be altered based on the particular type of target device.

Inserting devices specific content

A grid control for displaying a table with columns and rows is provided that reduces memory requirements by sharing a single row characteristic object between multiple row objects. The grid control can create a template row object that includes various characteristics used in presenting the underlying data within each cell of the row. This template can then be shared among other rows with similar characteristics. An index can also be used for linking the shared rows to the template row characteristic object.
