Creates a view based on the specified INotifyCollectionChanged data source.

Namespace:  C1.LiveLinq
Assembly:  C1.Silverlight.LiveLinq (in C1.Silverlight.LiveLinq.dll)

Syntax

C#
public static View<T> AsLive<T>(
	this INotifyCollectionChanged source
)
Visual Basic
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function AsLive(Of T) ( _
	source As INotifyCollectionChanged _
) As View(Of T)

Parameters

source
Type: System.Collections.Specialized..::..INotifyCollectionChanged
The INotifyCollectionChanged data source to expose as a view.

Type Parameters

T
The type of the elements in the view.

Return Value

A view that contains the same elements as the INotifyCollectionChanged data source.

Remarks

Use this method to build views from existing data sources implementing INotifyCollectionChanged. The element type of this data source must implement INotifyPropertyChanged, see Using the built-in collection class IndexedCollection(T) (LiveLinq to Objects).

The resulting view may have its elements ordered differently than they are ordered in the source. Correspondingly, views built on this resulting view (for example, if you filter it with Where) will not preserve the source order either. If you need to preserve the source order, consider using the other AsLive overload where you can specify to what extent you need the order to be preserved.
