In the SemanticZoom control I use the same CollectionViewSource for both the zoomed in and zoomed out view. To do this I bind the zoomed out GridView in the code behind like this: (FavoriteGroupsSemanticZoom.ZoomedOutView as ListViewBase).ItemsSource = this.FavoriteGroupsViewSource.View.CollectionGroups; Everything works as expected. However, now the zoomed out GridView is bound to a list of DependencyObjects instead of my original groups.
