How do I convert a List(Of T) to an ObservableCollection(Of T) in VB.NET?

Question

Is there a way to do this without iterating through the List and adding the items to the ObservableCollection?

Answer 1

to clarify what Junior is saying (with an added example if you're using LINQ that returns an IEnumerable):

//Applications is an Observable Collection of Application in this example
List filteredApplications = 
      (Applications.Where( i => i.someBooleanDetail )).ToList();
Applications = new ObservableCollection( filteredApplications );
