what is notifycollectionchangedaction reset value
Solution 1
This is an old question but for the benefit of anyone who may come across this through a search as I did:
NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset
means "The content of the collection changed dramatically". One case where the Reset event is raised is when you call Clear()
on the underlying observable collection.
With the Reset event, you don't get the NewItems
and OldItems
collections in the NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs
parameter.
This means you're better off using the "sender" of the event to get a reference to the modified collection and use that directly, i.e. assume it's a new list.
An example of this might be something like:
((INotifyCollectionChanged)stringCollection).CollectionChanged += new NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(StringCollection_CollectionChanged);
...
void StringCollection_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.Action)
{
case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add:
foreach (string s in e.NewItems)
{
InternalAdd(s);
}
break;
case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove:
foreach (string s in e.OldItems)
{
InternalRemove(s);
}
break;
case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset:
ReadOnlyObservableCollection<string> col = sender as ReadOnlyObservableCollection<string>;
InternalClearAll();
if (col != null)
{
foreach (string s in col)
{
InternalAdd(s);
}
}
break;
}
}
Lots of discussions on this Reset event here: When Clearing an ObservableCollection, There are No Items in e.OldItems.
Solution 2
There is a difference between INotifyCollectionChanged
and INotifyPropertyChanged
.
When a value of a propery in an object changes, it should notify others using INotifyPropertyChanged
interface implementation.
On the other hand, when number of items
or items themselves
change in a collection, it should let others know using INotifyCollectionChanged
implementation.
Now, in your case, value of a property of an object in your collection changes. That is supposed to raise PropertyChanged
event, not CollectionChanged
event.

I have an observable collection...
SelectableDataContext<T>
..And in the generic classSelectableDataContext<T>
is...having two private member variables- Private T item.
- Private bool isSelected.
When the IsSelected property changes...My collection's changed property is not firing .
I think it should fire...because it's
Reset

kjbartel over 5 yearsMS changed the definition of Reset. It now means: "The content of the collection was cleared." docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/…

gix over 4 yearsNot anymore. It has been clarified as "changed dramatically", which could mean cleared, but also every element changed. See github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/issues/3253

Patrick almost 4 yearsWhich means if you're using it to add/remove PropertyChanged handlers in the items themselves, you need to maintain a second list in the background just so you have an OldItems when Reset comes along. Not a big deal if you're just using ObservableCollection and never call Clear, but definitely something you need to keep in mind.
