I have a custom ICollection which I wanted to use with the MultiSelect control, however, the Value property is of type List<T>. This is very restrictive; the property should implement an interface for flexibility.

Hi

Recently we were building a feature that allows the optional selection of multiple items, and decided to use the Telerik Multiselect component. A subcomponent of the feature reads from a file, and pre-selects items in the multiselect based on data in the file similarly to this sample:

foreach(string item in file)
{
    selectedItemsList.Add(item);
}

At the moment, however, it seems that the Telerik Multiselect does not refresh its state when selected items are added and removed programatically, only when they are added or removed via user interaction. Would it be possible to have the Telerik Multiselect support the usage of ObservableCollection?

Thanks in advance!
