Automatically refresh ICollectionView Filter

AFAIK there is no inbuilt support in ICollectionView to refresh collection on any property change in underlying source collection.

But you can subclass ListCollectionView to give it your own implementation to refresh collection on any property changed. Sample -

public class MyCollectionView : ListCollectionView{    public MyCollectionView(IList sourceCollection) : base(sourceCollection)    {        foreach (var item in sourceCollection)        {            if (item is INotifyPropertyChanged)            {                ((INotifyPropertyChanged)item).PropertyChanged +=                                                  (s, e) => Refresh();            }        }    }}

You can use this in your project like this -

Workers = new MyCollectionView(DataManager.Data.Workers);

This can be reused across your project without having to worry to refresh collection on every PropertyChanged. MyCollectionView will do that automatically for you.

OR

If you are using .Net4.5 you can go with ICollectionViewLiveShaping implementation as described here.

I have posted the implementation part for your problem here - Implementing ICollectionViewLiveShaping.

Working code from that post -

public ICollectionViewLiveShaping WorkersEmployed { get; set; }ICollectionView workersCV = new CollectionViewSource                         { Source = GameContainer.Game.Workers }.View;ApplyFilter(workersCV);WorkersEmployed = workersCV as ICollectionViewLiveShaping;if (WorkersEmployed.CanChangeLiveFiltering){    WorkersEmployed.LiveFilteringProperties.Add("EmployerID");    WorkersEmployed.IsLiveFiltering = true;}

For .Net 4.5: There is a new interface which can help to achieve this feature, called : ICollectionViewLiveShaping.

From MSDN link:

When live sorting, grouping, or filtering is enabled, a CollectionView will rearrange the position of data in the CollectionView when the data is modified. For example, suppose that an application uses a DataGrid to list stocks in a stock market and the stocks are sorted by stock value. If live sorting is enabled on the stocks' CollectionView, a stock's position in the DataGrid moves when the value of the stock becomes greater or less than another stock's value.

For .Net 4 and lower:There is also another post on SO QA which might help you:CollectionViewSource Filter not refreshed when Source is changed
