An ItemsControl is inconsistent with its items source - WPF Listbox

An ItemsControl is inconsistent with its items source - WPF Listbox

The "An ItemsControl is inconsistent with its items source" error in a WPF ListBox occurs when the ListBox is bound to a collection that is modified while the ListBox is being rendered. This can result in the ListBox trying to display an item that no longer exists in the collection or skipping an item that was added to the collection.

To fix this error, you can use a CollectionViewSource to bind the ListBox to a view of the collection instead of the collection itself. The CollectionViewSource provides a way to filter, sort, and group a collection, and ensures that the view remains synchronized with the collection.

Here are the steps to use a CollectionViewSource to bind a ListBox:

  • Add a CollectionViewSource to your XAML code, typically in the Window.Resources or UserControl.Resources section.
<Window.Resources> <CollectionViewSource x:Key="MyCollectionViewSource" /> </Window.Resources>
  • Set the Source property of the CollectionViewSource to the collection you want to bind to.
<Window.Resources> <CollectionViewSource x:Key="MyCollectionViewSource" Source="{Binding MyCollection}" /> </Window.Resources>

In this example, we set the Source property of the CollectionViewSource to the MyCollection property on our view model.

  • Set the ItemsSource property of the ListBox to the CollectionViewSource.View property.
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyCollectionViewSource}, Path=View}" />

In this example, we set the ItemsSource property of the ListBox to the View property of our CollectionViewSource.

By using a CollectionViewSource to bind the ListBox, we ensure that the view remains synchronized with the collection even if the collection is modified while the ListBox is being rendered. This can help prevent the "An ItemsControl is inconsistent with its items source" error and ensure that the ListBox displays the correct items.
