    text
    copied!<p>I have created a class that contains a property of type ObservableCollection. I am trying to create an instance of the class in XAML and fill this property with members. I keep getting an exception that class T can not be converted to ObservableCollection, but this exception only occurs when I am trying to populate the list with elements that were declared as static resources.</p> <p>Anybody has an idea why?</p> <p>The code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mseg="clr-namespace:SegApp.Model.DataEntities.Segments;assembly=SegApp.Model.Silverlight"&gt; &lt;mseg:Dot xKey="d1"/&gt; &lt;mseg:Dot xKey="d2"/&gt; &lt;mseg:Dot xKey="d3"/&gt; &lt;mseg:Dot xKey="d4"/&gt; &lt;mseg:Segment xKey="seg1"&gt; &lt;mseg:Segment.Dots&gt; &lt;StaticResource ResourceKey="d1"/&gt; &lt;StaticResource ResourceKey="d2"/&gt; &lt;StaticResource ResourceKey="d3"/&gt; &lt;StaticResource ResourceKey="d4"/&gt; &lt;/mseg:Segment.Dots&gt; &lt;/mseg:Segment&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Class definition is:</p> <pre><code>public class Segment : Part { public ObservableCollection&lt;Dot&gt; Dots { get; set; } public Segment() { Dots = new ObservableCollection&lt;Dot&gt;(); } } </code></pre> <p>And the exception says: "</p> <blockquote> <p>Object of type bla.bla.bla.Dot can not be converted to type System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection'1[bla.bla.bla.Dot]</p> </blockquote> <p>"</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>
