ObservableCollection element-wise Transform/Projection Wrapper


I'm posting my workaround - which is a custom class - here. Still hoping for better answers.

using System;using System.Collections;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Collections.ObjectModel;using System.Collections.Specialized;using System.Linq;namespace ViewLayer{    public class TransformObservableCollection<T,Source> : INotifyCollectionChanged, IList, IReadOnlyList<T>, IDisposable    {        public TransformObservableCollection(ObservableCollection<Source> wrappedCollection, Func<Source,T> transform)        {            m_WrappedCollection = wrappedCollection;            m_TransformFunc = transform;            ((INotifyCollectionChanged)m_WrappedCollection).CollectionChanged += TransformObservableCollection_CollectionChanged;            m_TransformedCollection = new ObservableCollection<T>(m_WrappedCollection.Select(m_TransformFunc));        }        public void Dispose()        {            if (m_WrappedCollection == null) return;            ((INotifyCollectionChanged)m_WrappedCollection).CollectionChanged -= TransformObservableCollection_CollectionChanged;
