thank’s for your patience.

Answer 1

Your Products class shouldn’t inherit anything.

public class Products

Accessing all the items in your collection is done through the DataCollection property of the Product class. For example,

   Products myProducts = new Products();
   ObservableCollection<Product> myData = myProducts.DataCollection;

It also depends on how you want to use Products. You may be able to totally do away with this class and then do something like:

   ObservableCollection<Product> Products = new ObservableCollection<Product>();
    Products.Add(new Product("Haystack Code Generator for .NET", 799, IMG_PATH + "Haystack.jpg"));
    // etc...
