what is the best way of getting the ICollectionView when working in mvvm pattern?

Question

when using mvvm pattern, when we have lists we use ObservableCollection<>.

my question is when should i call to

CollectionViewSource.GetDefualtView(theCollection);

to get the view that i can filter and sort and do some other cool stuff.

if i dont work with mvvm i'll do it in window.load

Answer 1

For MVVM is better use a ViewModel with property of type ObservableCollection. In this viewmodel you can implement your functionality.

Answer 2

just need to make sure that you call the

CollectionViewSource.GetDefualtView([your observable collection])

after the collection reference initiated...

and dont call it more than once cause there is no reason
