Can ItemsControl’s Items and ItemsSource properties be modified simultaneously ?

ItemControl’s items and ItemsSource can’t be modified simultaneously. ItemControl’s ‘Items’ property is used to add items manually and ‘ItemsSource’ property is used to bind the ItemControl with the datasource. You must not mix these techniques, simply for the reason that ItemsSource can only be set when there are no items in the Item collection and Items can only be set when the ItemsSource is set to null. Otherwise you’ll get an ‘InvalidOperation’ Exception. Note that regardless of which method you use to set items in an ItemControl, you can always retrieve items using the ItemsCollection.
