Convert a List<T> into an ObservableCollection<T>

Question

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

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

ObservableCollection < T > has a constructor overload which takes IEnumerable < T >

Example for a List of int:

ObservableCollection<int> myCollection = new ObservableCollection<int>(myList);

One more example for a List of ObjectA:

ObservableCollection<ObjectA> myCollection = new ObservableCollection<ObjectA>(myList as List<ObjectA>);
