Remarks

When you bind to a data collection, you may want to sort, filter, or group the data. To do that, you use collection views. You can think of a CollectionView as the layer on top of the binding source collection that allows you to navigate and display the source collection based on sort, filter, and group queries, all without having to manipulate the underlying source collection itself. If the source collection implements the INotifyCollectionChanged interface, the changes raised by the CollectionChanged event are propagated to the views.

All collections have a default CollectionView. For all collections implementing IList, the ListCollectionView object is the default view object. The BindingListCollectionView is the collection view class used for collections that implement IBindingList. To get the default view, you use the GetDefaultView method. For an example, see How to: Get the Default View of a Data Collection.

For more information about collection views, see Data Binding Overview.
