Pivot and Panorama Placement in the FCL

Pivot and Panorama controls reside in the Microsoft.Phone.Controls assembly. Both the Pivot and the Panorama inherit from the TemplatedItemsControl (see Figure 11.1). The TemplatedItemsControl’s generic type parameter is specified as either a PivotItem for the Pivot class or a PanoramaItem by Panorama class.

FIGURE 11.1 Pivot and Panorama inherit from TemplatedItemsControl.

The main role of the TemplatedItemsControl is the implicit creation of PivotItems and PanoramaItems when using the superclass ItemsControl.ItemsSource property to populate a Pivot or Panorama.
