The Observable Collection constructor will take an IList or an IEnumerable    If you find that you are going to do this a lot you can make a simple extension method       public static ObservableCollection lt T gt  ToObservableCollection lt T gt  this IEnumerable lt T gt  enumerable                return new ObservableCollection lt T gt  enumerable
