An ObservableCollection<T> is just an IEnumerable<T>, so you can use the usual extension methods, provided you added the required namespace. If you did, you can do myObservable.Select(item => item.IsActive)Dennis Doomen

The Select returns an IEnumerable. So it get it back to an ObservableCollection, you have to cast it back.

Hope this helps.
