Great. BTW, the Silverlight.net code editor removes generics, that is why all of your lists lost the generic.
However, I would recommend you try the code I posted above instead of what you came up with. The difference is that the code I posted uses EntityCollection so you can directly add and delete entities from the filtered list. Also, EntityCollection supports
INotifyCollection changed so, for example, if you changed the type of a meal from Dinner to Snack the changed meal would automatically move from the Dinner section to the Snack section. You also will not need that code in Context_Loaded. After I post this
I will go back and put snacks in for you, if snacks isn't there yet check back in a few minutes.
I have marked this second sample as the answer to this thread. I also moved my create datasource and datasource setting statement back to their original locations and it all works fine. I shall spend some time digesting this second, newer, improved method
a little more.
Again thanks for all your help on this - I can now move on to the next stage of my SL3 + RIA experimentation!
