GroupsSource Property

Gets or sets a collection used to generate the content of the XamOutlookBar. This is a dependency property.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property GroupsSource As IEnumerable
public IEnumerable GroupsSource {get; set;}
Remarks

The developer can use only one of Groups or GroupsSource properties to add groups to the control. This allows the Groups collection to be populated via a binding on the GroupsSource property. When GroupsSource is in use, setting this property to null will remove the collection and restore use to Groups (which will be an empty collection).

Example
Public Class Car
    Public Name As String
    Public Year As Integer
    Public Color As String
End Class
public class Car
{
   public string Name {get; set;}
   public int Year {get; set;}
   public string Color{get; set;}
}
