Custom object with collection in XAML

i'd able implement type of code in xaml:

 <ns:myobject x:key="myob">
   <ns:myobject.myitems>
      <ns:myitem itemname="test" />
      <ns:myitem itemname="test2" />
   <ns:myobject.myitems>
</ns:myobject>

my class declarations follows:

public class myitem
{
 public string itemname { get; set; }
 public myitem(){}
}

public class myobject
{
 public list<myitem> myitems { get; set; }

 ...

}

but when run this, error:  "ag_e_parser_bad_property_value".  if remove myitem declarations, this:

<ns:myobject x:key="myob">
   <ns:myobject.myitems>
    <ns:myobject.myitems>
</ns:myobject>

then app loads fine no error.

what's best way i'm trying do?

thanks.

a common problem when writing custom collection classes xaml usage not initializing empty collection part of class logic class holds collection property.

 

try adding:

 public myobject() {

    this.myitems = new list<myitem>(); 

}

i'm not positive problem because fix trying use implicit collection syntax, whereas in case using explicit tag myitems.
