[c#] ObservableCollection Doesn't support AddRange method, so I get notified for each item added, besides what about INotifyCollectionChanging?

As there might be a number of operations to do on an ObservableCollection for example Clear first then AddRange and then insert "All" item for a ComboBox I ended up with folowing solution:

public static class LinqExtensions
{
    public static ICollection<T> AddRange<T>(this ICollection<T> source, IEnumerable<T> addSource)
    {
        foreach(T item in addSource)
        {
            source.Add(item);
        }

        return source;
    }
}

public class ExtendedObservableCollection<T>: ObservableCollection<T>
{
    public void Execute(Action<IList<T>> itemsAction)
    {
        itemsAction(Items);
        OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset));
    }
}

And example how to use it:

MyDogs.Execute(items =>
{
    items.Clear();
    items.AddRange(Context.Dogs);
    items.Insert(0, new Dog { Id = 0, Name = "All Dogs" });
});

The Reset notification will be called only once after Execute is finished processing the underlying list.
