How to cast a System.Windows.Controls.SelectedItemCollection?
I have a method:
private void DeletePuzzle(object param)
{
}
param is a System.Windows.Controls.SelectedItemCollection, that I got from a WPF ListView's SelectedItems property.
Somehow, I can't seem to cast it from an object to anything useful. I can't create a System.Windows.Controls.SelectedItemCollection because of its protection level, and param won't cast to IList, ICollection or IEnumerable.
How can I iterate through param's items?
Answer
Right, got it sorted. I kept trying to cast it like
IList<PuzzleViewModel> collection = (IList<PuzzleViewModel>)param;
Which told me it couldn't convert from SelectedItemCollection to IList...
This is in fact what you need to do.
System.Collections.IList items = (System.Collections.IList)param;
var collection = items.Cast<PuzzleViewModel>();
