Package "Refactored.MvvmHelpers" marked deprecated - ObservableRangeCollection<T> alternatives

[MAUIoxo]

Hi,

today, when I wanted to update my packages, I saw that the package reference Refactored.MvvmHelpers was marked as deprecated, now and that I should use CommunityToolkit.Mvvm instead.

So far, I could not find the ObservableRangeCollection<T> which I was using a lot in my project.

I saw that there is a new ObservableGroupedCollection<TKey, TElement>, but is there an alternative to a simple ObservableRangeCollection in the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm package? How should it be replaced when switching to this package?

Just grab the source code and put it into your code :)

Thanks for your response... first of all, I thought there was a new replacement for that in CommunityToolkit.Mvvm. But, if we should do it via "own implementation" in our code that's also fine and I will do it ☺️
