Binding to a single element inside a CompositeCollection

Question

I am trying to produce a list of servers for browsing on a network such that it produces a tree view which looks like this:

-Local Server
 - Endpoint 1
 - En         


        

Answer 1

Can't you just expose a new collection from your ViewModel that the tree can bind to?

Something like:

public Server LocalServer;
public ObservableCollection RemoteServers;

public IEnumerable ServerTree { return new[] { LocalServer, RemoteServers } }

After all your ViewModel is a ViewModel. It should be exposing exactly what is needed by the view.
