Description

Represents a dynamic data collection that provides notifications when items get added, removed, or when the whole list is refreshed.

OnCollectionChanged

var oc = new ObservableCollection<int>();
oc.CollectionChanged += OnCollectionChanged;

oc.Add(1);
oc.Add(9);
oc[0] = 2;
oc.Move(0, 1);  // move item at index 0 to index 1
oc.RemoveAt(0);
oc.Clear();

private static void OnCollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    // sender: ObservableCollection

    // e.Action : Add
    // e.NewItems: ReadOnlyList<int>() { 1 }

    // e.Action : Replace
    // e.OldItems: ReadOnlyList<int>() { 1 }
    // e.NewItems: ReadOnlyList<int>() { 2 }

    // e.Action : Move
    // e.OldItems: ReadOnlyList<int>() { 2 }
    // e.NewItems: ReadOnlyList<int>() { 2 }

    // e.Action : Remove
    // e.OldItems: ReadOnlyList<int>() { 2 }

    // Clear
    // e.Action : Reset

Advanced ObservableCollection

  • Send only 1 CollectionChanged event while adding multiple elements at the same time, instead of sending 1 CollectionChanged event per item added.
  • Send only 1 CollectionChanged event while resseting the whole collection, instead of sending 1 CollectionChanged event for clear/reset and one for each item added.
