Add Scrolling to Start Page about solutionstartpage

[Herdo]

Turns out that Visual Studio is hosting the entire start page already inside a ScrollViewer.
Therefore, the ScrollViewer defined in the views won't work.

Thanks for your response. Not sure if I understand this, if it is defined in the scrollviewer then why can't scroll using the mouse wheel? Am I missing something?

…

@modulexcite - this image will explain it a little bit better than plain words can:

The red part is the top-most element of the primary window content.

This one holds a ScrollViewer (blue part). I guess the intention behind this ScrollViewer is, that any window content might not know the available size, therefore VS provides a top-most ScrollViewer, so that the user can always scroll the content required into view.

The green part is the Solution Start Page extension.

The black part shows the primary contents: the default MRU list, open project, create new project etc and the Solution Page Control on the right side, showing the grouped solutions.
The SolutionPageControl hosted another ScrollViewer, which then catches all mouse scrolls.

After finding out that there's another (blue one) ScrollViewer around the whole start page, I remembered the number 1 rule for WPF development:

Never ever put a ScrollViewer inside another ScrollViewer.
