title: Custom drawing in Windows Store App?
body: <p>Is there a custom drawing that is available for Windows Store, similar to DrawingVisual in WPF? </p>
  
  <p>My case is, I have around 100 'buttons' that are comprised of 3 textblocks each (1 a checkmark, 1 for a description, 1 for an expand button). We use a lot of data templates and use DataTemplateSelector to select the items so I'm not sure if Virtualization is gonna work.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to achieve is, use custom drawing to 'draw' the 10 buttons, or even 1 button to lessen the layouting performed. In this way, hopefully we improve the performance significantly.</p>
  
  <p>Is such a thing possible in Windows Store App development?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
