How to construct NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs for Multiple Replace and Remove

Question

I've 3 ICommand Add, Remove and Replace. Add adds 3 items to the Collection:

void add(object o)  
{  
    var index = Items.Count;  
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)  
    {  
        Items.Add(new Item()  
        {  
            Id = ++count,  
            Name = "Item No. " + count  
        });  
    }  
    var newItems = Items.GetRange(index, Items.Count - index);  
    Items.OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add, newItems, index));  

Remove, removes SelectedItems of the ListBox from the Collection

void remove(object o)  
{  
    var oldItems = new List<object>(o as IEnumerable<object>);  
    foreach (var item in oldItems) Items.Remove(item as Item);  
    Items.OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove, oldItems));  
}  

when it hits the line Items.OnCollectionChanged..., I get System.InvalidOperationException: 'Collection Remove event must specify item position.' Replace, replaces SelectedItems of the ListBox:

void replace(object o)  
{  
    var oldItems = new List<object>(o as IEnumerable<object>);  
    var newItems = new List<Item>();  
    foreach (var item in oldItems)  
    {  
        var old = item as Item;  
        var @new = new Item()  
        {  
            Id = old.Id,  
            Name = "Replaced " + old.Id  
        };  
        Items[Items.IndexOf(old)] = @new;  
        newItems.Add(@new);  
    }  
    Items.OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Replace, newItems, oldItems));  
}  

and shows this System.InvalidOperationException: 'Added item does not appear at given index '0'.' when it hits Items.OnCollectionChanged...!

How to fix those errors I get in Remove and Replace?

Answer 1

All that I actually need for my Collection is:

public class Collection<T> : List<T>, INotifyCollectionChanged
{
    //public Collection() : base() { }
    //public Collection(IEnumerable<T> enumerable) : base(enumerable) { }

    public event NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler CollectionChanged;
    public void OnCollectionChanged(NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e) => CollectionChanged?.Invoke(this, e);
}

and it took a long time to figure out, I wouldn't even think about reducing the code if the IndexOf function of IList didn't give me the invalid cast error. For range actions, the only way, probably, is Reset.

For Range Actions, I've to implement the ICollectionView and do things manually. In cases where my SelectedItems are incontiguous, I've to raise the event for each item:

Interesting thing is: I don't have to specify LiveGrouping or LiveSorting, it does group and sort automatically! For LiveFiltering, I've to have a method and call that when I change property, not bad!
