Convert a List into an ObservableCollection

Question

I have a List which is being populated from JSON. I need to convert it into an ObservableCollection to bind it to my GridView

Answer 1

The Observable Collection constructor will take an IList or an IEnumerable.

If you find that you are going to do this a lot you can make a simple extension method:

    public static ObservableCollection ToObservableCollection(this IEnumerable enumerable)
    {
        return new ObservableCollection(enumerable);
    }
