Abstract
A computing device includes a view control that manages presentation of electronic content on the computing device. The presentation can include displaying content, audibly playing back content, and so forth. The view control is made available to multiple different applications on the computing device. To use the view control, an application provides to the view control an indication of a resolver for the view control to use. The electronic document includes references to electronic content, and the view control requests the referenced electronic content from the resolver. The resolver obtains the referenced electronic content, decodes (e.g., decompresses, decrypts, etc.) the obtained electronic content, and returns the decoded electronic content to the view control for display or other presentation.
