将新项目添加到ObservableCollection时，“指定的参数超出有效值范围。参数名称：索引” <T>

Question

I get a such exception:

'FooStorageStorage.Add(new TreeViewItem() { Header=i.ToString()})' threw an exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException': "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.\\r\\nParameter name: index"

I have a property in viewModel:

private ObservableCollection<TreeViewItem> fooStorage=new ObservableCollection<TreeViewItem>();
public ObservableCollection<TreeViewItem> FooStorage
{
   get { return facetStorage; }
   set { facetStorage = value; }
}

However, after I cleared FooStorage and trying to add new item:

private void LoadData()
{
    if (FooStorage.Count > 0)
    {
       FooStorage.Clear();
    }
    for (int k = 0; k < lengthOfColl; k++)            
    {
       FooStorage.Add(new TreeViewItem() { Header=k.ToString()});//here is exception
    }
}

I've got an above exception.

When I call a method LoadData() at the first time, it all works okay. Then if I call a method LoadData() at the second time, then I get a such exception.

Have anybody met a such exception? The most interesting thing that I cannot reproduce this exception in a test project.

Update:

I am adding new TreeViewItem's from FooStorage to different TreeView placed inside of HeaderTemplate of DataGridTextBoxColumn . So when user clicks at Header1 of DataGridTextBoxColumn2 , then TreeView of Header1 is populated by FooStorage from viewModel. OK. The when user clicks at Header2 of DataGridTextBoxColumn2 , then TreeView of Header2 should be populated by FooStorage from viewModel, however when I Clear() and Add() new items to FooStorage , then I've got an above exception.

Answer 1

Just would like to say that passing UI Element TreeViewItem to ViewModel is a bad practice. So maybe adding new TreeViewItem which is then used in different places was my problem.

As @Sinatr said:

You should not use TreeViewItem directly in ViewModel. Moreover framework elements (including TreeViewItem) can have only one parent at a time. Maybe adding new TreeViewItem which is then used in different places is your problem (cba to check sources if it's the case, simply don't do it). Rather use TreeViewItemViewModel (call it shorter, eg ItemViewModel).

Patrick Hofman gave me advice to disable that section in the UI and after I disabled it, then there was no problems.

So I've concluded that I've met consequences of using bad practice and was punished. Avoid bad practices. And ObservableCollection<T> is not guilty! Sorry, ObservableCollection<T> .

Now I am learning about TreeView by Josh Smith .
