You'll have to write your own extension method to do this:

    public static class CollectionEx
    {
      /// 

      /// Copies the contents of an IEnumerable list to an ObservableCollection
      /// 
      /// The type of objects in the source list
      /// The source list to be converted
      /// An ObservableCollection containing the objects from the source list
      public static ObservableCollection ToObservableCollection( this IEnumerable enumerableList )
      {
        if( enumerableList != null ) {
          // Create an emtpy observable collection object
          var observableCollection = new ObservableCollection();

          // Loop through all the records and add to observable collection object
          foreach( var item in enumerableList ) {
            observableCollection.Add( item );
          }

          // Return the populated observable collection
          return observableCollection;
        }
        return null;
      }
    }
