      // including the WPF FrameworkElement used for your pane.
      // 
      // You have 2 choices when specifying the UI. 

      // The typical example is to create your element as part of this setup and pass it back as the "FrameworkElement" 
      // property of the provider Data. Most any container control will work, but we
      // we generally suggest using a descendant of the Page class:
      data.FrameworkElement = new Page();

      // 
      // A more advanced mechanism is to provided a callback that creates the UI element on demand
      // each time the containing view is created. Generally, this approach is needed for UI Elements
      // that CANNOT be cached/reused due to some underlying dependancies. A good example of this
      // is the WebBrowser control that embeds a browser window, that itself is not reusable:
      data.FrameworkElement = null;  // Set Cached element to null as we are specifying a creator. 
      data.FrameworkElementCreator = new BrowserCreator(); // set a creator to call back into.
