public class DataServiceCollection<T> : System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection<T>
type DataServiceCollection<'T> = class
    inherit ObservableCollection<'T>

Inheritance

Examples

The following example is from the code-behind page for an Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) page that defines the SalesOrders window in WPF. When the window is loaded, an DataServiceCollection<T> is created based on the result of a query that returns customers with related objects, filtered by country/region. This result is bound to the DataContext property of the StackPanel that is the root layout control for the WPF window.

Remarks

WCF Data Services provides the DataServiceCollection<T> class to support binding data to controls in client applications. This class inherits from the ObservableCollection<T> class, which implements the INotifyCollectionChanged interface and is the primary data binding mechanism for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight-based applications.

You can load an ObservableCollection<T> binding collection by using any collection that implements the IEnumerable<T> interface. Items loaded into the binding collection must implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. For more information, see Binding Data to Controls.
